Comments on CIA Operation Similar To Tactic Obama Advocated, Bush Criticized - Politics on The Huffington Post

• CIA Operation Similar To Tactic Obama Advocated, Bush Criticized - Politics on The Huffington Post
• “In August, Sen. Barack Obama had made the argument that, as president, he would target Al Qaeda officials in Pakistan even without the country’s acquiescence — the type of attack that, six months later, proved to be successful.” The White House had earlier criticized his position. Naive/inexperienced indeed…
  

  To be sure, not everything is known about the extent and execution of the CIA’s operation. But, on the surface, it carries similarities to Obama’s stated approach towards Pakistan’s terrorism problem, the same approach Bush trivialized.

  Great. Maybe you will be interested in my photos on Tallhub—dotcom. I signed up a dating profile there with my most beautiful photos. The men there said that I am really sexy, if you want to view my photo gallery, just search the user name slendertallgodness and you can find me.

  I just love how Obama supporters tout him as anti-war, when his statement about Pakistan makes him just as much a war-hawk as the neoconservatives.

  Obama doesn’t want to respect the sovereignty of other countries, and would rather we go in and execute military strikes based on intelligence* without the permission of said country. I can never vote for a man who says he would do that.

  * Iraq ring a bell? Despite all the “intelligence,” I see no WMDs.

  Obama needs to be sent to gitmo, not the white house. Like HE originally thought of attacking militants in pakistan. Fuck that, fuck him, and fuck his fanboy supporters. Enjoy the muslim kawk you fags.

  “If Bush had done this exact same operation, you would be crying “war crime” for him invading a sovereign country.
  The hypocrisy is astounding!”

  –Just a sec. Isn’t the article saying that the CIA, under Bush, *did* do this? The hypocrisy is astounding, yes, but the source of it lives on Pennsylvania Avenue.

  National security is what we should be doing. hunting for hidden enemies and throwing away our liberties is what their doing.

  Wait, so Obama said it was good - so it was good. But this is just the sort of thing that Dick Cheney would love. In fact, this is something that is almost fundamentally neo-con. Wait, what?

  Yes, but Obama still had to have been wrong when he said it.

  Thats odd, I thought Bush also liked the idea of screwing around in other peoples countries without their permission. I didn’t realise that Bush was against that and it was actually Obama who invented Assassination!
