Obama and the War on Terror

After the administration ordered a missile strike in Pakistan that killed at least several children, Vice President Biden indicates that these attacks will continue. The Democrats have long argued that Bush “neglected” Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the real war on terror should be. Obama has always said we need more troops in Afghanistan, which could make the war in that country drag on for another seven years, constituting Obama’s Vietnam. Let’s hope his domestic socialism does not blind his leftist supporters to this imperial war and occupation, and that they are at least as critical as some were of LBJ in Vietnam.
