The most heated moments from tonight’s AFL-CIO forum came when the topic turned to Senator Barack Obama and his claim for the last debate that he would invade Pakistan to fight terrorism, even without permission from President Pervez Musharraf. Senator Chris Dodd was asked about his critical response to Obama’s statements and reiterates his criticism and things get going from there. Obama stands his ground and jabs Dodd and Clinton for voting for the invasion of Iraq, then turning around and attacking him “for making sure we are on the right battlefield, and not the wrong battlefield in the war against terrorism,” which drew huge applause from the audience.Howie P.S.: Dan Balz (WaPo) has this story, "Obama and Clinton Take the Gloves Off In AFL-CIO Debate." See if you can detect Hillary's triangulation rhetoric.
Senator Clinton once again attacked Obama on this issue which didn’t go over well with the crowd…

I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
