Hi Kendal,
What he actually said was:-
============================================================
"It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an
al-Qaeda leadership meeting in 2005," he said, referring to reports that the
US had decided not to launch a strike for fear of harming ties with Pakistan.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and
President Musharraf won't act, we will," Mr Obama said.
============================================================
and I understand "take out" usually refers to some sort of surgical strike
rather than invasion by ground troops.
Cheers
Deri
