Good news for those who do not align themselves with al Qaeda. According to intelligence sources, the United States fired missiles at a Pakistani house where members of al Qaeda and the Taliban were located, killing 9 and injuring 9 more. Neither the Pakistani nor American governments would acknowledge the strike, so it was obviously an American action.
This is an example of the United States acting in its interests by killing terrorists in Pakistan after the Pakistani government apparently decided not to. I can't imagine anyone in American politics saying this was a foreign policy blunder. So why is it such when Barack Obama suggests it?

Because he's the librul anti-war candidate. He obviously has no experience and doesn't take our foreign policy seriously. :P
Seriously, though, I think that really is why. Because it alienates those early supporters who naively thought that he wasn't the IR realist that he actually tends to be (hell, Brezinski is supporting his campaign)...while allowing McCain to paint those same supporters (or ex-supporters) as typical of his base.
