Obama: McCain "Sings Songs About Bombing Iran"

In Friday's presidential debate, the topic of whether to target al Qaeda figures in Pakistan came up and McCain accused Obama of being naive for saying that he would go after terrorist figures in the country even if the Pakistani government didn't say yes.

"If you are going to point a gun at somebody you better be prepared to pull a trigger," he said. "We have got to get the support of the people of Pakistan. [Obama] said we would launch military strikes into Pakistan. You don't do that you don't say that out loud. If you have to do things you have to do things.

The question naturally arises: if McCain says we are going to do it if we have to isn't he, essentially, telling Pakistan that we will target terrorists in their country."

Obama, it should be noted, defended his policy and corrected McCain for suggesting he was talking about attacking the country. He then threw in a good dig. Coming from somebody who "sings songs about bombing Iran, I don't know how credible [your call for prudence] is."

Obama again was classy and brilliant. I could feel McAngry's contempt for O thru the tv screen. Hideous display from an angry old man.

Way to Go Sen Obama. The look on McCain's face when he said this was priceless.
