[Peace-discuss] Fw: Message from Senator Barack Obama

[C. G. Estabrook]

It's clear from his tempered praise for the Bush administration's "military 
efforts" that "the real threats facing our country" come from Pushtun women and 
children sleeping in their beds in Pakistan -- tempered, because the raids so 
far are merely "baby steps," the Obama campaign says (in spite of the number of 
babies who will take no more steps).

"Senator Obama has been saying ... frankly since before the invasion of Iraq 
that the central front in the war on terror is Afghanistan and Pakistan, and we 
need to invest [sic] there," says the awful Susan Rice, "a senior foreign policy 
advisor to the Obama campaign." --CGE
