>>I think there's a better chance of pigs flying. He doesn't have a clue as to how to get the clearance for that from the countries that would have to look the other way. Obama has no military expertise and no background from which to acquire competent advice on military affairs.<< MM - I thought you wanted to have a substantive discussion here. Those statements are simply ridiculous. While it is true that Obama has no military experience, it is just silly to think that he is unable to evaluate the advice of others with respect to military options. As far as getting clearance for sending troops into Pakistan goes, I would expect a move to capture the Al Qaeda leadership would involve a two-pronged operation, coming from both sides of the Afganistan/Pakistan border. I don't see how any countries other than Pakistan and Afghanistan, would have anything to say about that. Afghanistan is obviously not a problem, as we already have troops there. Do you suppose that Obama would be unable to get Musharraf's phone number? - Allen
