Obama: Troops ‘distracted’ from real threats

[never cry wolf]

Sen. Obama appeared on the Today show this morning and weighed in on Iraq, KSM, Gonzogate and the personal foibles of potential opponents. Video at link.

The United States is ill-prepared for another large-scale terrorist attack like 9/11 because limited military resources are bogged down in a war in Iraq the U.S. cannot win, presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama said on TODAY.

“Unfortunately, we've become so focused on the situation in Iraq, that I think we have ended up being distracted, particularly in Afghanistan, in dealing with the very real kind of threats that we heard about today,” Obama said.

“Obviously, we don't have all the facts. What I do know is that Attorney General Gonzales has had a tendency to inject politics into decision-making that should be guided by the public interest,” Obama said. “He is close to the President, and considers himself the President's lawyer, as opposed to the people's lawyer. I don't think that's an appropriate way to think about the Office of Attorney General.”
