Waiter, There's a Bush Doctrine In My Messiah

WTF?

Democrat Barack Obama warned Wednesday about the danger of "fighting the last war" as he pledged to focus on emerging nuclear, biological and cyber threats if elected president.
...
He added, "The danger ... is that we are constantly fighting the last war, responding to the threats that have come to fruition, instead of staying one step ahead of the threats of the 21st century."

Say, Barry, that sounds an awful lot like an endorsement of the principle of waging preventive war against non-immediate, but gathering threats to national security.

In fairness to the Lightworker, he was referring not to preemption per se, but his strange fascination with surrendering our nation's nuclear defenses.  Preemptive self-disarmament, if you will, presumably followed by preemptive hugs, a preemptive light dinner (ravioli, ham, sundae bar...), and a humble request that other nuclear nations kindly follow suit.

Hope!
