Obama Slams Bush, McCain Over Redeployment Plan

September 9, 2008 12:33 PM


AFP reports on Barack Obama's harsh words for President Bush and Senator McCain today regarding foreign policy:

Speaking to reporters here, Obama accused Bush of "tinkering around the edges" and "kicking the can down the road to the next president" with his plans to remove 8,000 US troops from Iraq in the coming months and send 4,500 to Afghanistan by January.

"At this point what it appears is that the next president will inherit a status quo that is still unstable," Obama said, adding that his Republican White House rival John McCain was bent on the same course as Bush.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, McCain issued a statement, saying Bush's announcement of troop withdrawals next year "demonstrates what success in our efforts there can look like," and argued that it "stands in clear contrast to the reckless approach long advocated by Senator Obama."

McCain also backed additional forces in Afghanistan, and said, "Senator Obama believes we must lose in Iraq to win in Afghanistan." Obama has said Bush and McCain don't understand that the central front in the war on terror is Afghanistan and Pakistan, not Iraq.

5. I guess.

Maybe some don't want to remember. I didn't like it when Kerry apologized to Bush and I didn't like it when Hillary said she was sorry to Bush.

Obama gave it to Bush when Bush was overseas, and he is giving it to him now, and people should be hugging Obama for this.
