ELKO, Nev. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Sunday stood by foreign policy comments that sparked an anti-U.S. protest in Pakistan and attacks from his opponents, telling an audience in rural Nevada, "There was no mistake there."
"I made a simple proposition that I'd like anybody here to challenge me on," Obama said of his Wednesday speech in which he said that he would use military force in Pakistan, a U.S. ally, if necessary to root out terrorists.

"Senator Obama, given that you now seem to be saying that you would strike at terrorist targets in Pakistan, why did your campaign Web site post a story that talked about your intention to cut off aid to Pakistan and that 'Pakistan will risk a U.S. troop invasion' unless it does a better job at rooting out terrorists?"
