Barack a little care-less


People change, people grow, don't you know. Barack Obama's positions continue to evolve:
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.

"Well, look, if that's the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now—where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife—which we haven't done," Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven't done. Those of us who care about Darfur don't think it would be a good idea," he said.

There's "caring" and then there's caring, apparently.

In the liberal lexicon, caring doesn't mean damn all.

Hold hands with Hillary, Barack, for a little care-less Kum-ba-yah diplomacy, after all don't you know, you unfortunates of the world, You've Got A Friend.

Unless it's too much trouble.

Unless you're already dead.
