He’s never painted himself as a pacifist. You’d know that if you read your print media.
From a NYTimes Op-Ed from July 14th, 2008:
As president, I would pursue a new strategy, and begin by providing at least two additional combat brigades to support our effort in Afghanistan. We need more troops, more helicopters, better intelligence-gathering and more nonmilitary assistance to accomplish the mission there. I would not hold our military, our resources and our foreign policy hostage to a misguided desire to maintain permanent bases in Iraq.
Tip o’ the hat to SelectiveEcho.
