>BTW, did you see Obama's statements about Pakistan? He basically said the government is playing games with us and we should go harder after the Al Qaeda forces who seem to have a safe haven in the eastern mountains. No backbone? No positions? Hmm.

But don't you see he's really just a politician? Whenever I hear something he said quoted here, it's a comparative - more of this, harder on that, never a "do it, period". Why didn't he say "go after Al Qaeda in the eastern mountains"? No, it has to be "go harder"... which is actually less. It means just "do something more than today and that'll be enough".
