Obama and the War on Terror

There's been some ink spilled over Obama's "dustup" with Clinton regarding pre-conditions to meeting with certain foreign leaders. A tempest in a teapot, it seems to me, and many of those writing about it really need to get outside more and wean themselves from their crack cocaine-like dependence upon commenting at-length on election "news" this early in the cycle.

Nevertheless, Obama seems to be fleshing out his foreign policy priorities, and his speech today put out a number of things it seems that the next Commander-in-Chief will have to deal with. The new direction regarding Pakistan (which mirrors what I've been saying for years) is exactly the right touch, IMO.

Andrew Sullivan, among others, seems to like it.
