P4B, again you misinterpret the opposition, I'm pretty sure Obama is smarter than to smudge the troops. He is right. instead of just bombing villages, we should seek out the enemy and engage him with sufficient firepower to win. We should put pressure on Musharrif to push the taliban to the west where we can engage them and destroy them. This the way to win, and that is what he was saying.... Even in this cruel war we should respect the lives of women and children.
