3 August 2007  In a transparent effort to bolster his reputation for toughness on national security issues and outflank his main rivals on the right for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois delivered a bellicose speech August 1 at a Washington think tank.
   
  Speaking to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Obama called for more troops to be sent to Afghanistan, threatened unilateral attacks against Pakistan and pledged to strengthen the US military and intelligence apparatus.
   
  ......
   
  Obama has been promoted by various political forces in the US as the progressive, “antiwar” candidate. He is no such thing, as his Wilson Center address reveals. The Democrat who ultimately wins the party’s nomination will be fully committed to wars of plunder in the interests of America’s wealthy elite.
