Has Obama Even Attempted To Correct Or Clarify His Comments On Pakistan ?

Question

I watched a military analyst explain just how ill informed his comments really were . Invade Pakistan ? He went point to point about how wrong Obama is on so many different levels . Invade Pakistan. . . from where ? Afghanistan ? Iran ? LMAO . Oh Obama , don't make me laugh .
I do agree that Pakistan needs to do more , but how many of you actually understand the situation ? The mountains ? Military strategy ? Many thousands of troops would die and we may not even accomplish anything . Generals would out-right rebel cause they know that's a crazy strategy . Would the troops themselves even do it ? Nope . In fact , the military analyst pointed out that if Obama withdrew the troops from Iraq , and then told them to invade Pakistan . . . . morale would drop to about ZERO . AND , troops would leave the military in droves .
Invade Pakistan ?
Don't you think it's high-time that people look at some maps and learn even a little about military strategy ?

Rage - Pfft . He didn't say 'invade Pakistan' . GIANT difference and that's why I asked if Obama attempted to clarify .

Celtic - I agree .

NOTE : 'Send in troops' is the same result as 'invading' . The analyst also went on to say that there'd need to be hundreds of miles of re-supply lines(an impossibility in that region) and we'd need to occupy thousands of square miles to do it properly (another impossibility in that region) . Our troops would be sitting-ducks and anyone with any military experience knows that .

CELTIC - Thank you , but what's even more telling is that 5 people gave that stupidity 'thumbs-up' ????!!!!!

Answer 1

Morning Earnest!

My answer is, I already have looked at the map, air attack only.

P.S Consider the source and ignore miss $hit for brains below, your a SWEETHEART Earnest.

P.P.S LOL, that's all her other SPLIT personalities surfacing, you know what they say, if you don't blow your own trumpet no-one else will, ignore "it's" just another deranged basement dweller.

Answer 2

Invading Pakistan could be a grave mistake. Pakistan has an active population and millitary. They won't just sit back and take ANY sort if attack.

America won't know what hit them, according to several Pakistani officials. The people pf Pakistan are extremely patriotic, any sort of invasion will result in a REAL war. Not just one side dropping bombs on the other.

Any silly war will result in the destruction of both countries. Obama is a novice when it comes to foreign policy, what he says doesn't really count.

Also China has too much invested in Pakistan and won't allow for these heavy investments to be destroyed. They will surely aid the country indirectly with weapons.
Saudi Arabia, will most probably cut all oil being supplied to the US, as Pakistan is the only Muslim country with Nukes and is seen as a protecter of the holy places in Saud Al Arab.

We need no more wars in the world, but PEACE.

Answer 3

The biggest problem with his off the wall comments is how he puts a teetering ally of ours on a further edge. Yes we want the leadership in Pakistan to do more but the government is not stable at this time and the threat is not from a group who would be more beneficial to us but ones who are allies with the radical islamists of the Middle East. If they took power we would have no way to get into the Afghanistan for some of our missions since we use Pakistan airspace for supply lines. I again find it amassing that many in the press do not come out and show how illogical Obama is on issues like this. Again if proves what a free ride he is getting by the mainstream media.

Answer 4

Obama never used the word invade.

He said that our forces would strike targets within Pakistan if we had actionable intel on specific targets and if the government of Pakistan failed to act against these specific targets.

This could be accomplished with cruise missiles and/or an air strike with satellite guided bombs from within Afghanistan and without a single troop or plane entering Pakistan.

This would be similar to Reagan dropping a bomb down Gaddafi's chimney in Libya.

Answer 5

He will not get the Democratic nomination so dont worry about it.


Take out Pakistan and replace it with IRAQ:
Take out Obama and replace it with Bush:

I do agree that Pakistan needs to do more , but how many of you actually understand the situation ? The mountains ? Military strategy ?

Answer 6

it incredibly is a competent question, that i've got not got a competent answer to, and neither does everybody else so a techniques as i will see. Why would a president decide for his ambassador, that he chosen, to die in that way? What would be his motivation? the in basic terms right answer i will arise with is an blunders in judgment, no longer an intentional act to rid the worldwide of the ambassador.

Answer 7

So which word would you prefer him to use when explaining sending troops into Pakistan, to help root out terrorist leaders by force? Just because it isn't for the purpose of conquering Pakistan, doesn't mean it isn't an invasion. Even if he did say "invade Pakistan", which i never heard him say, sending forces into Pakistan to get Osama, would be considered just that, when the purpose is to "invade" terrorist save havens within Pakistan.


How about entering via India? think India will mind?
just in case you need a map:

By the way, have anything bad to say about Bush who is finally considering it, a move that actually makes sense?
Pakistan accepts millions in aid to fight terrorists, but hasn't had any luck getting any of the major players, while saying they don't need any help. what does that suggest to you???

Answer 8

so much for doing the right thing after 9-11
Pakistan has :
- Terrorists Training Camps.
- A Safe Haven for Bin Laden.
- Nuclear Weapons that someday might be given to terrorists.

but all we have now is excuses.
what happened ?
"it's to hard" is not the American Motto (especially after 9-11)

Answer 9

this whole whoopla about what obama said is pretty funny.

the guy expressed some pretty healthy rage about wanting to go and GET BIN LADEN.

when people ask for this same kind of logic regarding the reasoning behind the iraq invasion they are called anti-american or worse.

obama expresses a genuine desire to get some PAYBACK FOR 9/11 and the neocon spin machine practically has it's head explode.

you want to ask some tough questions about foreign policy i recommend you ask our president why we're in iraq...

Answer 10

Pakistan is where Al Qaeda is REALLY located and training their recruits. We have given billions in aid to Pak. without seeing much in the way of results in reducing the threat. Maybe that is why, yes?
