Somalia is a cautionary example for those who, like Barack Obama, favor rapidly withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq and managing any threat from al-Qaeda with an "over the horizon" strike force. Such forces indeed have the ability to target and kill leaders. They do nothing, however, to change the conditions under which al-Qaeda finds refuge and recruits.
Yeah, Hiatt, Obama has got it all wrong concerning Iraq. Lets pretend the majority (if not vast majority) of Americans agree with Obama's stance on Iraq.
I guess that's why he is leading in the Democratic primary race & will probably get elected president once he secures the Democratic nomination.
They only "cautionary example" I see here is how foolish discredited neocons appear when they refuse to shut the f*ck up.
