Obama hates to say I told you so...
The disastrous foreign policy of the Bush White House has resulted in severe consequences for our nation. It’s nice to see that they are finally following sound foreign policy advice.
Obama's sound foreign policy advice, that is. Again, Obama proves to have the best judgment. Please remember all the flap a few months ago when Obama said he would try diplomatic talks with Iran...McCain and the R's jumped on him for his "willingness to meet with our enemies" and called him “naive”, etc. etc. etc.
Well, guess what? the Bush administration has announced that they are making "a major policy direction shift" and are going to do just that thing they criticized.

First Obama said we should go after targets in Pakistan, and Bush started using drones to take out targets there. Then Obama said we needed more troops in Afghanistan, and finally Bush is coming around to that. Obama has been saying we need more diplomacy with Iran and Bush is coming around to that too.
Who sounds like a wiser Commander-in-Chief?
Can't wait to see the ad -- "They said my position on Pakistan was wrong, and then they adopted it. They said my position on Iran was wrong, and then they adopted it. They said my position on pulling out of Iraq was wrong, and then they adopted it. I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message, because America should know that my foreign policy has been proved right...even by the people who opposed it."
