Obama hits homerun with overseas trip…
Posted by Trent on July 22, 2008
For all those questioning Barack Obama’s foreign policy creditability, and daring him to plan an overseas trip, you finally have it. Stunningly, and to the excitement of the Obama campaign, the new democratic Iraqi government is urging for the swift removal of US coalition troops (by the end of 2010,) basically summarizing Obama’s own war strategy.
It must be nice to have your first display of foreign policy be an agreement with the Prime Minister of a newly formed republic (instituted by the Bush White house). Both George W. and John McCain have stated publicly they would end our presence if the Iraqi government wished it, and now they have. Unfortunately, neither of them will agree now to a swift exodus.
McCain answered by explaining there will always be tension on the “Iraq/ Pakistan border.” Never mind the fact that Pakistan borders Afghanistan, not Iraq. So much for McCain’s undisputed foreign policy prowess… I guess he’ll just continue to fight by endorsing his new attack ad, blaming Obama for the high gas prices.
