Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was suspicious of such assurances. 'Is there any place that you're familiar with where the administration has articulated this strategy?' he asked.

Why is anyone listening to this gnome? How many times do you get to be wrong before people start-- oh never mind. No one could reach the Kristol standard of wrongness; well, except maybe Darth C.
