Obama: U.S. should go into Pakistan if intelligence warrants it
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- At a debate in front of thousands of labor union activists Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama's Democratic presidential rivals blasted him for his remarks about Pakistan.
Last Wednesday, the Illinois senator said that if it were necessary to root out terrorists, he would send U.S. forces into Pakistan without the country's approval.

Interessant finde ich folgende Aussage, insbesondere wenn man bedenkt, wie belastet die amerik.-pakist. Beziehungen sind und wie sehr die Amerikaner auf ihre Souveränität wert legen!
Zitat:Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware responded later in the debate, noting that the strategy Obama outlined was already U.S. policy.
"Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts," Biden said. "It's already the policy of the United States -- has been for four years -- that there's actionable intelligence, we would go into Pakistan."
Das wird man in Pakistan nicht gern hören. Die Aussagen von Obama hatten in Pakistan auch einen Sturm der Entrüstung ausgelöst. Diese Aussagen wird man da sicher auch gar nicht gern hören.
