Obama: Don’t stay in Iraq over genocide - Yahoo! News
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.
WTF. This is so wrong… Going by Obama’s logic, then the only time military intervention is justified to stop genocide is if they intervene against ALL genocide cases. What? you mean you have only enough resources to help one country? Too bad, under the Obama logic, you are obliged to do nothing. For a lawyer to spout such logical fallacy is really disappointing. Especially since i kinda supported him in the past. Looks like Hiliary Clinton is the better choice.
