Lets be honest here, you run on the strength of your foreign policy, and then you call the guy with the world's second biggest nuclear arsenal "soulless" you ain't bright.
But he is soulless. I'll take her "soulless" over Bush's looking into his soul anyday. But Bush isn't the issue. Foreign policy is.
Obama:
On September 24, 2004, Barack Obama--the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Illinois, and a shoo-in favorite--suggested “surgical missile strikes” on Iran may become necessary. “[L]aunching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in" given the ongoing war in Iraq, Obama told the Chicago Tribune.
"On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse,” he said. Obama went on to argue that military strikes on Pakistan should not be ruled out if “violent Islamic extremists” were to “take over.”
This is what you're supporting?
