As did Obama.....and as a matter of fact...Obama said he'd nuke Pakistan!!!!
Indeed he DID...(Not exactly NUKE...but attack a nation that HAD them)...
Tough talk on Pakistan from Obama< 2007
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama said on Wednesday the United States must be willing to strike al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan, adopting a tough tone after a chief rival accused him of naivete in foreign policy.
Obama's stance comes amid debate in Washington over what to do about a resurgent al Qaeda and Taliban in areas of northwest Pakistan that President Pervez Musharraf has been unable to control, and concerns that new recruits are being trained there for a September 11-style attack against the United States.
Obama said if elected in November 2008 he would be willing to attack inside Pakistan with or without approval from the Pakistani government, a move that would likely cause anxiety in the already troubled region.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said.
The Illinois Democrat is trying to convince Americans he has the foreign policy heft to be president after a rival candidate, New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton, questioned his readiness to be commander in chief.

But YET? He dithers on Afghanistan...Stay tuned. He will make his announcement from Hallowed Ground...
Unlike Bush who just ignored Al qaeda and Taliban forces in Pakistan, Obama has developed an effective strategy of attacking on two fronts. He has stepped up Predator attacks while encouraging Pakistan to take the offensive from the south.
It is the most pressure Al Qaeda has had in seven years
So where is he---still missing ?
