Yes. But, the "national security" GOPers plus media have created a climate where candidates who say so risk getting called "weak", "appeaser", "soft on terrorism", "crypto-Muslim", "al Qaida sympathizer", "not patriotic", "not supporting the troops", ad nausium.
Fringe candidates have nothing to loose by speaking the truth. For mainstreamers, especially early in the campaign, there is more to loose by taking on the other mainstreamers and the media on this issue. Does that mean Obama actually buys it? He's a smart guy. I doubt it. But, time will tell.
Fact is, he has questioned many of the WOT's foundational precepts already. For example:
1) Obama rejects preemptive war in favor of diplomatic engagement.
2) Obama will engage with and, therefore, re-humanize neo-con "archvillians" Achmanidejad, Chavez, etc.
3) Obama rejects the notion that Iraq is a "frontline in the war on terror". He believes that it is a strategic mistake that needs to be reversed ASAP.
4) Obama wants to refocus the mission on capturing al Qaida. This is great, because once the CIA proxy army is taken out (for real) he can declare victory and end that war as well.
5) Obama rejects the fear mongering of the GOP with his message of hope. This in and of itself undermines WOT psychological ops.
6) Obama, like all lefty Dems, wants to spend money on domestic social programs, not the MIC and fake WOT. As such, he has a built in imperative to end the fake WOT, gut the MIC and redirect the money to domestic programs.
In sum, your attempts to equate Obama with the neo-con/GOPer WOT fighters don't wash. The informed know better and will prevail this November.
