A surrogate for John McCain made a leftward feint on a campaign conference call today, suggesting that the presumptive Republican nominee might pull troops out of Iraq sooner than Barack Obama.

But reporters seized on Wilson's provocative statement about a speedy pullout, asking McCain senior foreign policy advisor Randy Scheunemann whether the Arizona senator thought he could get troops home faster than Obama. Scheunemann didn't go there. "Sen. McCain has always said two things would determine his approach to force levels in Iraq: The advice of commanders on the ground and the security situation on the ground."

Wilson pulled back from the quick withdrawal idea, too. Instead, she turned back to the call's original purpose -- bashing Obama. "He's frighteningly inexperienced when it comes to foreign affairs and national security policy," Wilson said.
