Well, not yet - but I think that's on the drawing board.

Obama as a Muslim will not attack the terrorists according to some Americans.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

For the record, compare HIllary's and Obama's statements:
"I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges. But let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again.... If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will." - Obama
If we had actionable intelligence that Osama bin Laden or other high-value targets were in Pakistan I would ensure that they were targeted and killed or captured. And that will be my highest priority because they pose the highest threat to America.- Clinton

If he did..it's no better than Hillary promising to tax anyone over an amount she thinks is rich and give it to the poor who made a choice to live poor.

I'd like the US military to attack the ones supposedly responsible for the 9-11 attacks, and they are in Pakistan who is not really our ally.

Obama isn' a Muslim--he's a Christian--specifically, Congregationalist. The bigots just say that because they think everyone is as bigoted as they are, so they hope it will cost him some votes.
As for his foreign policy, Obama has jsut said what the Democrats have BEEN saying--we need to stop wasting American lives and money in Iraq and go after Americaa's real enemies--instead of giveing them a free ride in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Obama was just makning it clear that Bush's coddling of Pakistan wasn't going to continue--there will be no more sanctuary for terrorists once he's out of office.

Exactly, Obama is a Muslim and is trying to worm his way into the white house. I agree with Incognito, read up on this man, you will discover thinks that he dosen't want you to know. He is a practicing Muslim, that's all they need folks and it's off to the gas chambers for all of us. Please take the time to see for yourselves:~)

Go to www.barackobama.com and read the entire speech so you can really understand his position. He mentions five specific proposals and they all make sense...those who sound confused above this comment obviously have heard only a few sentences of the speech instead of listening to the message in its entirety.

Ya, Incognito what's that?
Should I just take your right wing conspiracy blog as my source then? You guys sound like the right wing version of 9-11 conspiracy morons
--------------------------------------------------------------------
anyway, LETS LOOK INTO THE REAL NO-SPIN ZONE, at what was actually said, not the super spin he is calling for an OPF version. No spin, ONLY DIRECT QUOTES:
"Let me make this clear," Obama said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."
"Pakistan must make substantial progress in closing down the training camps, evicting foreign fighters, and preventing the Taliban from using Pakistan as a staging area for attacks in Afghanistan," Obama said.

The funny thing is, this is nothing new. Has anyone bothered to listen to him in the past or read his web site? This is not new.

That may be his new policy -- but I haven't heard that.
What I have heard him say is that we should go after the specific group of terrorists that attacked us in 1993 and 2001.
Which seems reasonable to me.
