You might think that the news that certain prominent Republicans are supporting Barack Obama would be a good thing.  But when a PNAC co-founder switches teams because he loved one of Obama's speeches, i find that very worrisome.

In his speech, Obama called for an increase in defence spending and an extra 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 marines to "stay on the offense" against terrorism and ensure America had "the strongest, best-equipped military in the world".  He talked about building democracies, stopping weapons of mass destruction and the right to take unilateral action to protect US "vital interests" if necessary, as well as the importance of building alliances.
I'd like to find a copy of that particular speech, but i doubt there's any amount of context that would make the above sound like a good idea.  Whatever chance there was that i'd vote for Obama has vanished.
