Naive? Inexperienced?
Remember last year when Obama caught a raft of shit for saying he would go into Pakistan if necessary to fight al Qaida?
And who was giving him a hard time? The Republicans, of course.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized Democrat Barack Obama on Friday for vowing to strike al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan if necessary as the Obama camp issued a strident defense of his plan.
But then, in another example of how the Bush administration has come around to follow Obama's advice, the U.S. is doing exactly that.
All Things Considered, September 3, 2008 ยท Pakistan says U.S.-led forces crossed into its territory and launched an attack that killed at least 15 people. The target of the attack was a village in South Waziristan, which is a tribal area used as a base by the Taliban and al-Qaida.
So what have we seen? Timetable on getting out of Iraq? Check.
Attack al Qaida in Pakistan? Check.
How come the guy who isn't supposed to have the experience to run our foreign policy is always right all of a sudden?
