“… the current policy is to quietly conduct operations against specific targets. Senator Obama is calling explicitly for cross-border operations. Is this refreshing honesty? Or, is it a signal that an Obama administration would ratchet up the conflict? How does this square with the antiwar sentiment that has brought the senator to where he is now? ”

You seem to be making a big deal about Obama’s stating PUBLICLY that he would attack targets inside Pakistan. Since everyone knows, however, that the Bush Administration has been bombing and raiding inside Pakistan, most people will not be shocked by Obama stating PUBLICLY that he would do the same actions.

I have been skeptical by Obama’s statements that he intends to fight seriously to defend the Afghanistan government. I think he lacks the fortitude to do so, and furthermore I think he talks tough about fighting in Afghanistan in order to justify his willingness to surrender in Iraq.

However, he sure did talk the talk about Afghanistan in the debates. Nobody can say that Obama sounded like he will avoid fighting for Afghanistan.
