According to majority of tribesmen, terrorists can be defeated politically. Now they have lost the support of common people. Statement of Barack Obama will certainly strengthen campaign against terrorism in tribal areas. Thank you Obama, you have won the war on terror as you have won hearts of millions of tribesmen.A newspaper report said that Criticising the Bush administration's reliance on President Pervez Musharraf's role in the war on terror, United States presidential hopeful Barack Obama has vowed to go after Al Qaeda in Pakistan.
News One TV channel on Friday quoted him as saying in a CNN Democratic presidential debate in Austin, Texas, that the US had made a mistake by putting all its "eggs in the Musharraf basket". He said the US should go after Al Qaeda and make sure that Pakistan was serious about hunting down terrorists and expanding democratic rule.
Promising that he would do everything to keep America safe if he were to become president, Obama said, "I will do whatever is required to accomplish that. I will not hesitate to act against those that would do America harm."
The Democratic senator also attacked rival Hillary Clinton for her decision to support US troop deployment to Iraq. Terming the military's intervention in Iraq as the "single-most important foreign policy decision of this generation", he said, "I believe I showed the judgment of a commander-in-chief [by standing against troop deployment]. And I think that Senator Clinton was wrong in her judgments on that."
The Illinois senator also suggested that sending US forces to Iraq had negatively impacted military operations in Afghanistan.
