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
