It's either a screw up of epic proportions, or a con job of epic proportions.

4. Obama and Hillary Clinton, Unlike Bush, Was Very Critical Of Pakistan
Unlike Bush, Obama and Clinton started off in 2009 being very aggressive about Pakistan's lack of cooperation with the U.S. Unlike Bush, Obama knew that you had to see Al Queda as a regional issue, rather than one that was restricted to Afganistan.
