Dr. Strangelove Type Moments

So in the last week a Democratic frontrunner, Obama, says that he would possibly invade Pakistan, and use nuclear weapons. A GOP bottomfeeder, Tom Tancredo says he would nuke Mecca and Medina, the Holy Cities of Islam. WTF? Have we lost our minds? I think these two need to sit in a room and watch Kubrick's masterpiece and realize how much they are sounding like our pal Gen. Ripper here. One would expect asinine statements like this from a moron like Tancredo, but what the hell is Obama thinking? Trolling for those reactionary, "turn the Middle East into a glass factory" votes Barack? I was going to send this guy a contribution until this broke, I think I'll take a wait and see attitude now.
