| As far as Iraq goes, I'm perplexed by Obama's plan that a "residual force will remain in Iraq and in the region to conduct targeted counter-terrorism missions against al Qaeda in Iraq and to protect American diplomatic and civilian personnel" after he "end the war." Looking more to the heart of the issue Obama shares the same fundamental foreign policy of pro-interventionism that the current administration holds. Obama would only rather shift the emphasis of the War on Terror from Iraq to Afghanistan with his own "surge" strategy. In fact I remember during the primary debates BO said he didn't believe the president needs a declaration of war from Congress to go to war and that he would consider military intervention in Sudan and Pakistan. > See article > > Whether or not either will actually do what they say is > another thing. > > > How is Obama any different than the current administration > > in terms of foreign policy? > > > > > I'd be quite disappointed if that were to happen and doubt > > > there will be any changes to foreign and domestic > > > politics: ie things will continue as they are. > > > > > > > Since I'm not interested in voting for McCain or Obama > > > > this isn't a politically biased comment... but I think > > > > there is probably a slightly higher chance that McCain > > > > might win over Obama... > > > | |
