The case against Barack Obama, Part 2
"Brokaw, moderating a debate, asked Obama when American combat forces should be used to quell humanitarian crises that pose no threat to U.S. security. Obama – specifically mentioning Darfur and Rwanda – said, 'When genocide is happening, when ethnic cleansing is happening somewhere around the world and we stand idly by, that diminishes us.' But after a 2007 interview with Obama, the Associated Press wrote, 'Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.' So Obama wants to use our military to stop genocide in Darfur – a tragedy that we did not start. But he wants our military to withdraw in Iraq, possibly resulting in a genocide of our own making. Got that?"
It would be wonderful to see the Bush bashers advocate for Obama's wars (hypocrites).
