Mr. Obama’s War, (Washington Post)…Editorial, Nov 9, 2008
The president-elect must both sustain and reform the fight against terrorism. … Barack Obama made clear during the election campaign that he takes the threat of al-Qaeda and other extremist groups seriously. He’s been hawkish in proposing more troops for Afghanistan as well as unilateral strikes targeting al-Qaeda in Pakistan. He’s promised to dedicate more resources to preventing the worst-case scenario of terrorists obtaining weapons of mass destruction.
