What is the essential difference between Obama and McCain Foreign Policy?

[Deicide]

I don't think there is any difference.

Discuss...

nothing to discuss here, move along

Only one of their veeps has said it's okay for Israel to bomb Iran.

So they are the same, eh Rob?

This question calls for actual knowledge of the candidates' intentions with regards to Iraq, Iran, Syria, and North Korea once they are in office.  There is no room for this kind of discussion during a presidential election.  We Americans just want to hear them talk about hope and the american dream.  Then we clap, talk about how great a speech they gave, refer to some crime that their opponent's 3rd cousin twice removed committed in 1972 and go to bed.  Please don't muddle up our board with this kind of intelligent question.  OK?

One difference is Obama will be used by leaders of foreign countries for propaganda purposes.  At least that's essentially what Hillary says.

Good point!

Obama is a tool...a useful idiot of his true Muslim/liberal masters.

It's only a matter of time before Obama takes office and socializes the entire country.  Then while you weak americans are indulging on American Idol and KFC, key Muslims will be installed in positions of power.

The jigs and beaners will be given your hard-earned dollars so they may live free at your expense.

And terms of the US's complete and utter surrender to Iran will be 'negotiated' and consummated.

This is how we liberals roll.

[Brixtonbulldog]

McCain actually might use force against an enemy.

Geeze.  You're cynical. 

I'd add he'd make a lousy CIC to your list.

Obama said he'd send troops into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden.
McCain said he would not.

Kinda shits on your theory...

[Deicide]

I guess everyone missed the point that they are both supreme interventionists.

[tonymctones]

Obama said he'd send troops into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden.
McCain said he would not.

Kinda shits on your theory...

LOL WOW way to not address the issue i brought up and the fact that you spun your shit and i never said mccain wouldnt, who has made that part of their platform and yelled it from the rooftops every chance he gets? Personally i trust mccain alot more than obama to cut things that are wasteful in unecessary militarily

[Bindare_Dundat]

There's a difference?

I'm confused.  There was a discussion about the mens' differences.

All I've done is point out mcCain's unwillingness to enter pakistan, while Obama will.  I've also shown that BOTH men have said they'll cut defense spending.

They're pretty similar.  The only difference being Obama's a little more aggressive about catching Osana bin Laden.  I'm sure McCain will get serious about catching OBL at some point too.

[SuperNatural]

They both will take the general strategic stance of primacy.

would you please lay out when they both said this and the situation that pakistan was in when both said this and ill point out your spin job or i could get HH6 over here so he can as he has already stated your ignorance before on this board on this subject.

[Brixtonbulldog]

Obama said he'd send troops into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden.
McCain said he would not.

It would if Obama wasn't just saying that to win goody points.

The fact that you can't see through that doesn't surprise me.

We're all confused.. you take Obamas word at face value yet you contort and twist what you want to hear out of any conservative.

To the rest of us who see through the BS we see a man who will say whatever someone says he should to win votes while McCain actually puts his character on the line.

I see.  You have some magical ability that allows you to see thru obama's statement.

He took a highly unpopular position - mocked by mccain - that he'd go into pakistan.

You think he took this unpopular position to be mocked, to fool people into believing he's foolish?

Well, that's one theory.
