re: #68 HAL2010

Disagree. If you look at Obama’s policy towards Pakistan in particular, he has been far more aggressive than the Bush administration was.
One example is the number of drone attacks.

33 in 2008, 53 in 2009, 118 in 2010, and 40 so far this year. A rough estimation (with maximum causalties) shows that since 2004, almost 4/5th of those killed were under Obama’s watch (~ 2000).

Afghanistan was a mess before he was elected, and now he is starting a pullout. Could probably not have done a lot more really.

What do you believe he “fucked up” in regards to Libya?

I did not refer to his ideas about Pakistan, but to the OBL killing…as for Libya, he should have gone to congress and made nice…stupidly, he didn’t
