Obama would consider missile strikes on Iran
By David Mendell | Tribune staff reporter
September 25, 2004

U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs.

2. No difference? Well, for one, Hillary was the only Dem candidate to vote for Kyle-Lieberman!
That is a HUGE difference.

Obama would not rule out what Hillary would not rule out. But I have a deep sense that Obama would be less trigger happy in an emergency, based on the comments in the above link.

3. I don't know how you reached that conclusion.
I looked at the video posted http://cameron.blogs.foxnews.com/2007/11/19/obama-takes-the-tough-questions/ and Obama was clearly talkign about peace through diplomacy and warning against perpetual war. Obama isn't anywhere in the ballpark of where Clinton stands. Did you purposely make that sloppy connection?
