According to the NYT:

Mr. Wright suggested that the attacks of Sept. 11 were at least in part a response by terrorists to terrorism practiced by the United States abroad. “You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you,” he said.

Obama’s response definitively shows that he is a warmongerer and foreign policy will not change if he is elected:

When [Wright] states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as…he equates the US wartime efforts with terrorism, there are no excuses.

Is Obama referring to Wright’s quote in the NYT? We were not “at war” for about a decade before the 9/11 attacks, so there could not have been a legitimate “wartime effort.” But we did have a number of military interventions, we maintained international military bases, and we financially supported many unsavory regimes in the years leading to 9/11. There is only one true Peace Candidate, but, perhaps because he represents real change, he is not a media darling like McHillbama:

Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.
