He will talk to America’s enemies without preconditions. Thanks Senator Barack Obama!
But will he, like Senator John McCain or Senator Joseph Lieberman visit our troops in the field on a regular basis? Will he meet with the elected leaders of Iraq before he turns a "hope" for success into a ignominious defeat in the mode of Vietnam?
Gee, Senator Obama did go to Iraq in January of 2006 – before the Surge and its "hopeful" results – for two full days!
As
Amanda Carter notes:
Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party, often discusses his trips to Iraq and military experience while campaigning. As of August 2007 McCain had taken six trips to Iraq.
The Senator from Illinois sure knows what’s happening on the ground in Baghdad; he has talked to our troops and the current Iraqi leadership.
Things that make one wonder about the qualifications and seriousness of a man who is ready to dialogue President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.
Oh, and where is Senator McCain today? Iraq.
