I gave you the link...I suggest you read it.
He stated specifically,
WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, under attack from a rival who portrays him as naive on foreign policy, declared Wednesday that he would use military force against Al Qaeda operatives hiding in tribal areas of Pakistan if that nation did not move more aggressively against them first.
The Illinois senator said he would take military action as president, if necessary, despite the risk of undercutting Pakistan's leader, President Pervez Musharraf, an important American ally.
"I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges," Obama said. "But let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. ... If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will."
In bold THIS IS EXACTLY what the Pentagon HAS DONE. After he said this.
Nowhere does he state sending troops. You are just adding all kinds of imaginary unicorn fear crap.
In realty you obviously do not have a clue of the current geopolitical situation Obama speaks from & the intelligence community is NOW working from.....
