2008: Lake on Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and the League of Democracies
July 2nd, 2008 by Matt
In an interview with Financial Times, Obama adviser Anthony Lake talks about the seriousness of the Iranian threat and how his candidate’s ideas for engaging Iran relate to current European strategies for engagement. Lake also briefly discusses Obama’s “very responsible” Iraq strategy and his “still relevant” proposals for tracking and using force against terrorists in Pakistan. Although Lake offers criticisms of John McCain’s proposals in many of these areas, he is not as keen to target McCain’s League of Democracies idea, which Lake believes could be carefully formed into a useful tool to defend “common values”.
