Some fans of Clinton and Edwards wanted to jump the shark on what Obama said today by attacking him for being a "warmonger" or whatever.

However, Clinton and Edwards AGREE with Obama.

Clinton:

"If we had actionable intelligence that Osama bin Laden or other high-value targets were in Pakistan I would ensure that they were targeted and killed or captured," she said."

Edwards:


"My belief is that we have a responsibility to find bin Laden and al Qaeda wherever they operate," Edwards said on camera. "I think we need to maximize pressure on Musharraf and the Pakistani government. If they can't do the job, then we have to do it."

And there are others who support Obama, like Richard Clarke:


I believe his speech is a comprehensive, sophisticated approach to terrorism. I was glad to see it recognized the importance of stopping repressive police and intelligence activities in countries threatened by al-Qaeda and terrorism. I'm also glad to see him say clearly that we are not at war with Islam but must partner with Muslims threatened by al-Qaeda. On Pakistan, I think it must be true anywhere that if we know of high value targets and the host government will not act, we have to do so.

Note: I wanted to consolidate other threads for each candidate and combine their thoughts together.
