Obama belittles McCain for confusing extremists By Caren Bohan
1 hour, 42 minutes ago



FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama belittled Republican John McCain on Wednesday for misidentifying Iraqi extremists, saying he fails to understand the war has emboldened U.S. enemies.

On the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Democrats Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton both pledged to withdraw U.S. troops speedily from Iraq if either of them is elected in November, while McCain held firm to his position that a troop build-up was paying off and should be maintained.

4. I don't like Caren Bohan's sneaky use of the word "belittle"
Clearly this person has an anti Obama agenda, for editorializing so much on a straight news piece.

5. I agree--fair criticism is not "belittling"--belittling is mean and personal.
This is an anti-Obama hit.

10. Why, would Hillary pander to them by giving them a pro-war speech?
My husband is a military man who supports Obama. Obama has earned more donations from the military than either McCain OR Hillary.
