#1 Obama probably meant the *other* Pakistan. It is an easy mistake to make. All those places and names; it is really quite confusing!

#3 It's too late -- the meme's stuck. He'd be toast in the general, which probably means he's toast in the primary too.

#7 Given that he could have split hairs and replied that he had said "take action", not "invade", his answer is bizarre. He could have clarified it to mean that if the Paks are allowing OBL to hide, we would take action. Why mention Afganistan at all? Why change his statement to a "diplomatic surge" (whatever the hell that is)? Why mention bringing troops home from Iraq within a year? The nutroots have been heard from. This just shows how in over his head he is.

#9 He said he advocated a "diplomatic surge" rather than a troop surge,

Hey, ~~white~~ man speak truth. Bring US State Department "diplomats" from village of great White Father. Surge them... here, there, everywhere.

#10 Come on bro, you gotta decide how you're going to lie to us. The American public needs to be lied to in a consistent manner. None of this back and forth shit. Pick one angle and go with it, I expected more from a career ~~liar~~ politician.

#11 Is it just me or does Obama look just like that sports writer, J A Adande, that shows up on ESPN occassionally?

#12 He said he advocated a "diplomatic surge" rather than a troop surge...

For instance, I would be perfectly willing to parachute, say, Senator Clinton in there with a knife and an M-16...

Might as well send Pelosi in as well to provide cover.

#14 Obama said, "I have never called for an invasion of Pakistan or Afghanistan."

So the hunt for Osama is distracting us from the hunt for Osama?

In Bakaka's defense, maybe someone told him we're hunting for Obama in Afghanistan

#15 I for one would back any plan that involves shipping large numbers of stripey pants-types to a war zone.
