In the recent debate Sen. Barack Obama once again demonstrated that he is dangerously ignorant in the area of foreign policy and the War on Terror. Once again journalists ignored his mistake.

Obama. is apparently incapable of understanding the fact that sending military forces into another country without permission is an invasion. It doesn't matter why the troops enter the country, it is still an act of war. The fact that Osama bin Laden might be in Pakistan doesn't mean the U.S. can invade Pakistan without fear of retaliation -- and Pakistan most definitely does have nuclear weapons.

Obama doesn't understand the volatility of the situation in Pakistan. The country has been on the brink of a civil war for many years and its government could fall at any time. An American invasion would force the government to declare war on the U.S. to try to keep the country united. The first action in that war might be a nuclear attack that would wipe out our forces in the Middle East.

The U.S. shouldn't expect Pakistan to do what the U.S. couldn't do in Afghanistan - capture Osama bin Laden. The U.S. doesn't have a particularly good record for capturing its own home grown terrorists. Eric Rudolph spent 5 years on the run after the FBI identified him as a murderer.

Obama doesn't understand that Pakistan isn't some banana republic that the U.S. can invade at will. Nuclear armed Pakistan with 145 million people has a larger more warlike population than Russia.

The U.S. has had enough trouble with the 22 million in Iraq.

Unfortunately the MSM and the McCain campaign aren't interested in pointing out that Obama could lead the U.S. into disaster.

Not to worry, Obama has that foreign policy genius "Plugs Biden" to turn to for advice...you know, the same guy who voted AGAINST the FIRST Gulf War, etc., etc., etc., and wanted to divide Iraq into three parts and thought FDR was President in 1929 and went on TV (which didn't exist as a media outlet at the time) and visits a restaurant "back home" that went out of business in 1986.....God Help US!!!!
