Now it's time to reinforce his backbone.

This is a perfect example of why those without
military experience really have no business
being a commander in chief.

You're right. Those with such experience would hunt for Al Qaeda leaders in Iraq, and Osama only mattered while the case for Saddam was to be made. Besides, that Pakistan is our ally and has the best American interest in mind... so we better stay out of it.

Please keep your experienced folks with you.

Pakistan is 10 years overdue for a clock cleaning.

You don't have to support it, but he did say during the campaign that if he is elected he will boost the troops in Afghanistan and increase attacks in Pakistan. Well, he tripeled the troops and has conducted 195 strikes in Pakistan in 2 years while there had been only 42 in seven years before that.

You know what Einstein - there are a lot of allies that have their best interest in mind, over America's. Maybe if
America considered Pakistan's interests, over just using
them for Afghanistan's interest, they might make a better
friend

Is Pakistan not grown enough to recognize that? Or, is the problem, as you imply, with America?

He's not weak on terrorism, his policies are helping recruit new ones all the time.

Obama is also using drones in Yemen and Libya. He is kind of a bright President that some people are still not used to.
