I guess Barack Obama, the so-called "moderate" Democrat, has
decided cut and run is the strategy for Iraq. In justifying his defeatist stance, he expresses his belief that "all the troops in the world" couldn't force the feuding Islam sects to sit down and negotiate, an interesting statement which shows the truly Liberal mindset of this man, who has up to now sought to depict himself as a centrist. Only a Liberal could so totally underestimate the effectiveness of military power, which has saved the world from totalitarian threats so many times in the past one hundred years. Yes, reconciling these feuding Islamists has proven a difficult task, but most military experts have blamed the failure on too few troops, which has allowed the militias free reign and thus prevented the spread of negotiations and compromise. It is always scary to hear a person being hailed as a future presidential candidate so totally dismiss the military, and reminds me of the appeasers in the 1930's who just didn't believe that military force was worth considering in weighing the options for confronting Hitler. By revealing his true beliefs, and bending to the left wing of his party, Obama may have dealt himself the first serious setback to his so far golden career path.
