THE U.S. AND U.N. IN SOMALIA - adm, 1993. He approved of Grenada and Panama, but not Haiti, and he didn't think Clinton was aggressive enough in Kosovo.

I think, pretty clearly, the same cannot be said of Senator Obama,

True. But then, he has only been a senator for about three and one half years, during much of which time he was probably focused on running for president. Guess a comprehensive track record in foreign policy requires some experience, first.;-)
