EXPERTS PRAISE BARACK OBAMA ON CHANGING CONVENTIONAL FOREIGN POLICY
THINKING
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 2, 2007
ONE OF THOSE EXPERTS WHO PRAISED OBAMA IS THE CURRENT Acting Assistant

division of the Department of State that advises the Secretary about

HERE BELOW IS WHAT PHILLIP CARTER SAID ON OCTOBER 2, 2007
"I'm supporting Senator Barack Obama for president because he will bring
strategic clarity to the White House. In October 2002, when official
Washington was marching to war, Senator Obama had the foresight to read
the available intelligence closely, and think carefully about the
consequences of America's planned invasion of Iraq. Instead of going
along with the Bush administration and supporting the war, as most
Democrats did, Sen. Obama opposed it, calling it a strategic blunder.
Today, he is using that same leadership and judgment to chart a new
course, one that uses a responsible and forward-looking approach to the
use of military power across the globe. I believe Obama will make the
right decisions in the future about war and peace." [Phillip Carter;
Former Army Captain and Iraq Veteran]
