If he did, I seriously doubt anyone would object.  Everyone loves the guy.  If he were to "pull an Iraq" so to speak, I think he'd be painted as a great war president by the media and his approval ratings would skyrocket and remain so for as long as we were in said war.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I'm opposed to pretty much any concievable war.

Clay, why have you been so vile lately? Its almost as if you've transcended opposition and are now into petty hatred. I, just like you, support the candidate who I believe has the best views on the issues. Can you please understand that? Last autumn, I read Obama's book Audacity of Hope and I was suprised that I agreed with nearly everything he said. He also has a record of being a strong leader, even if he doesn't have the Washington insider experience (which is more a bad thing anyway, IMO). I support Obama due to his political beliefs. And, quite honestly, I think it's pretty low of you to assume that Obama's supporters don't know what their candidate stands for.

I don't think he'll attack Pakistan

So hes a flip flopper?

Main reason why I don't like Obama is because of his "invade Pakistan" comments he made awhile back.

Just to clarify, here: Obama never said he was going to attack Pakistan. He said attack Al Qaeda compounds within Pakistan as a last resort if the Pakistani government became completely uncooperative with efforts against Al Qaeda.

He said he would cross the borders to attack al Qaeda without Pakistani approval, and that action would be considered an act of war against the country of Pakistan itself.  (If you want to get technical.)

Yes, true. But it's only a pretty unlikely hypothetical, anyway.
