Schultz says preemption works

Former Secretary of State George Schultz has some advice for President-elect Barack Obama, Donald Lambro reports.

It’s this: Keep President Bush’s policy of preemptive defense in place because it has helped prevent post-9/11 attacks.

A tricky situation, indeed. Makes you wonder why anybody would want to be president.
