LANCASTER, Pa. - Barack Obama says the United States is engaged in a "war on terror" - using the same wording as President Bush to describe the global battle against Islamic extremists. In his first sit-down interview with Bill O'Reilly of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel, Obama said he absolutely" believes the United States is fighting a war on terror. Obama said the enemy was "al Qaeda, the Taliban, a whole host of networks that are bent on attacking America, who have a distorted ideology, who have perverted the faith of Islam." Many Democrats reject the use of the term, which the administration has used to argue for a global conflict that extends beyond national boundaries, and includes the war in Iraq, which Obama opposed and called a "dumb war." The much anticipated interview was months in the making -after repeated requests from O'Reilly, who even trailed Obama at a rally in Nashua, NH, earlier this year to make his appeal in person - and winding up in a shoving match with a campaign aide. Despite talk of bad blood between the Democratic nominee and the broadcaster, Obama seemed positively upbeat after Thursday's sitdown with O'Reilly. Asked how it went, Obama replied, "It was great." During the interview, Obama also called Iran a "major threat," and said it would be "unacceptable" for the regime to develop a nuclear weapon. "It's sufficient to say I would not take military action off the table, and that I will never hesitate to use our military force in order to protect the homeland and the United States' interests." But Obama has said repeatedly that he favors diplomacy as a first course of action. Obama also warned against the current US administration lumping radical Islamic groups together. "They have fueled a whole host of terrorist organizations," Obama said of Iran, but "we have to have the ability to distinguish between groups . . . They may not all be part and parcel of the same ideology." Obama also said President Bush's surge of troops into Iraq - which Obama initially opposed - "has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated. "I've already said it's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams." Before his "O'Reilly Factor" debut, Obama spent Thursday campaigning through rural Pennsylvania, a swing state that is critical victory. He toured a factory in York, where he continued to pound on the Republicans for stressing biography over issues. "I understand that they don't have much of an agenda to run on, but I think the American people deserve more than the same old vitriol that we've seen the last couple of days," he said. He then headed to Lancaster, west of Philadelphia, where a long line of voters stretched around the block to catch Obama at an evening event.
Poster Comment: OK, PILES. Obama believes, as does Bush, in the WOT, al Qaeda, the Taliban, the evil Iran and last but not least, that Bush's surge " succeeded beyond our wildest dreams" Change? Change my ass.

She don't like, she don't like, she don't liiikkke...O'CAINE! OCaine '08 "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
I know, but she's more appealing. I figure since the show is all about entertainment, I am allowed to be superficial like the rest of the population. ;)
Yes!!! Ms. Spin....
Isn't Paris Hilton still running? If only Obummer had waited for McCain's Palin pick, he could have countered by offering Paris the VP slot.
Exactimundo. Remember, more Americans felt comfortable hypothetically having a beer with a teetotaller than his opponent during the last two elections. Superficial, you want American, lemme tell ya, McCain dated a stripper while flight training in Pensacola, Fanny - the Fabulous Flame of Florida and he married a BEER heiress.
That might anger Rev. Wright, though. I wonder what post Calypso Louis was promised to deliver the Black Muhammadan Power vote??

Yes!!! And now for something completely unrelated: "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
I've seen fuglier neocons! NILF! "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace.

He campaigned on both. Social programs for Iraq? Sure! Social programs at home? No problem! And don't worry MIC you get your share too! And to top it off he'll cut taxes and decrease spending/debt while doing all of the above at the same time. More spending + less income = PROFIT! No one has explained to me how that can be done.
"The more I see of life, the less I fear death." - Me. "If violence solved nothing, then weapons technology would have never advanced past crude clubs and rocks." - Me.
Oboma is a politician, he changes to match his surroundings. O bama = O Rielly = O my G_D
Lets make this happen.
LOL. She's got to be the first NILF in history!
About the best that could be hoped for is that he's lying through his teeth just to try to get more votes, and that he has no intention of continuing the war party. Otherwise, it kinda looks like the only foreign policy change we *might* get is a pullout of Iraq. Maybe. He sure has migrated. Vote Ron Paul.
Sorry, I'm busy tonite. But, why should I be defending anyone? I assume that you found some proof that O's is not perfect and that he's a partial selloff. And? Would you rather have McCain in the WH, nukeing away at the Russkies? Like papa Olmert used to say... this is turning into an Existentialist problem now.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'

I really don't care for 'diddy' much at all.

I agree. You actually think that O'Cain make these policy decisions and carry out their own plans. Of course we all know that YOU know better, you just CAN'T WAIT for Fobama's Socialist Domestic Policy. As if they are elected and not selected. Sorry, you are.

Paris isn't running and can't run, at least not yet. She isn't old enough to be president, at least not according to the Constitution. They may waive the age requirement though. I read just the other day that Biden was elected for his first term in the Senate when he still wasn't old enough to serve there either. I guess the establishment waives any of the rules that goes against their annointed ones.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. ESTABLISHMENT RULES Rule #1: ESTABLISHMENT MAKES UP THEIR OWN RULES Rule #2: See Rule #1

When Obingo calls for "volunteers" for America to join his war in Afghan/Paki, I know a few people that will be too busy to serve.
I knew what MILF meant but had never heard of NILF before so I had to do a search. This what you meant? Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. True, but some Women for OBingo have strapping sons at home and the least they could do is urge them to join the military and fight the dirty Muzzies and this vicious war on terror.
They won't be getting their grubby hands on anyone I know that doesn't want to fight for the new luciferian world order. That might be the trip wire? Who knows, there's so many set now.

For your information, that image is representative of corporatist bullshit, a dishonest exageration and far from reality. It might be funny were it true. This is not my opinion, it is fact that I'm aware of from first hand experience. Don't believe everything you hear or read. chemtrails

I know how fucked up Socialized healthcare is and I know how fucked up every Socialist I know is. I also know that they (The Global Socialists -corp.gov- ) fucked up our current system so that a fucked up Socialist shit hole system like Taxachewsetts got under Romney is set up as the fucking answer. Got any fucking thing else on the matter?

LOL--I am glad you liked it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Ping for later, this is too good to respond to with a buffalo wing in one hand.

I'll provide a side dish and pie for after Obama believes in "don't tread on me". The fact that he can't make a point without stepping on his tongue (stupidly uttering the Bush invented cover word for perpetual war) is not the story here. A so-called world power that cannot even seek, much less achieve, retribution for an invasion of it's soil is less than a paper tiger.

As if Palin is any more principled than Obummer. Palin went from being a Buchanan and Ron Paul supporter to a full-fledged Neocon within seconds of McCain's invite.
