Obama the Warmonger?

Hell yes, says Brendan O'Neill.

I don't know what's more appalling: overt militarism of the McCain variety or the sinister, thinly veiled imperialistic threats coming from Obama. There's very little difference between the remaining candidates (except Ron Paul), and what differences exist are merely cosmetic. If you think American will leave Iraq under an Obama administration you are sorely mistaken.

A simple examination of Obama's voting record will show you that he's no peace candidate. His complicity in supporting the war in Iraq (votes to fund the war, voted against troop withdrawals) corresponds nicely with his campaign promise to expand the military by 65,000 troops.

Obama is a classic wolf masquerading in sheep's clothing. How'd we get to the point where McCain appears to be the honest candidate, at least when it comes to foreign policy?
