Presidential candidate Barack Obama on Terrorism

Last night, Barack Obama, Presidential candidate held a major speech on foreign policy and terrorism in the Woodrow Wilson Institution. He opposes the foreign policy of the Bush administration. He promised to turn the page.
"By refusing to end the war in Iraq, President Bush is giving the terrorists what they really want, and what the Congress voted to give them in 2002: a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.
It is time to turn the page. When I am President, we will wage the war that has to be won, with a comprehensive strategy with five elements: getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan; developing the capabilities and partnerships we need to take out the terrorists and the world’s most deadly weapons; engaging the world to dry up support for terror and extremism; restoring our values; and securing a more resilient homeland."
