Do Proper Research Before You Write

Gideon, I think you should find yourself a different hobby, because you're really terrible at this- and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to mislead the public. 
 
"Strike Pakistan"? Where in Obama's speech did he talk about striking Pakistan? You know, if you want to write something that people will read, it will help if you first red what you're writing about. I've provided a link here, for you to read what Obama actually said.

And for your information, that very day, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards agreed with Obama. Bill Richardson criticized Obama after the speech because all he knew about the story was what he heard in the media. After he read the speech, yesterday at the Yearly Kos forum, he REPEATED THE EXACT SAME WORDS OBAMA SAID on Pakistan. 
 
The Afghan president is accusing the Pakistani president of not doing enough to fight AL Qaida holed in Pakistan. The National Intelligence Estimate said terrorists are hiding in Pakistan and Musharraf is not pursuing them vigorously enough. The polls in America show that Americans agree that we should spend more effort pursuing the 9/11 killers hiding in Pakistan. If you think this is something Obama made up, then you're seriously mistaken. 
 
Obama simply had the courage to say we would continue to provide billions of dollars to Pakistan only on the condition that it is doing more to fish out those terrorists, and he said IF we have ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE that there are HIGH-VALUE AL Qaida targets in Pakistan and president Musharraf will NOT act, WE WILL. How does that mean 'Strike Pakistan’?  
 
I hope after reviewing the facts, you do the right thing and post an apology to Senator Obama.
