Obamarama

So, let me see if I understand this. He would sit down with our sworn enemies and talk, but he would attack in Pakistan. That's it. Musharaff's mistake, one that has led to attempts on his life, is that he's provided support for our Afghanistan operations. He should have been at the United Nations in a Che T-shirt calling Bush a devil.

But that was too easy. I sympathize with Obama's desire to get Osama and crew, but even a neophyte should know that a raid in Pakistan is much more palatable when accomplished under cover of "OOPS! The Darned GPS is broken." Threatening military action which violates the territorial sovereignty of a nominal ally is not quite the thing to do. The Pakistanis are already riled.

There is no one scarier than a politician who feels he has to prove himself.
