McCain Blasts Obama for Not Visiting Iraq Since ‘06, Challenging Joint Trip

From Fox News

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Republican John McCain on Monday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for not having been to Iraq since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together.

“Look at what happened in the last two years since Senator Obama visited and declared the war lost,” the GOP presidential nominee-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview, noting that the Illinois senator’s last trip to Iraq came before the military buildup that is credited with curbing violence.

“He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time,” the Arizona senator added. “If there was any other issue before the American people, and you hadn’t had anything to do with it in a couple of years, I think the American people would judge that very harshly.”

McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war, frequently argues that he’s the most qualified candidate to be a wartime commander in chief. In recent weeks, he has sought portray Obama, a first-term senator, as naive on foreign policy and not experienced enough to lead the military.

The Iraq war, which polls have shown that most of the country opposes, is shaping up to be a defining issue in the November presidential election.

The rest here

I am not trying to open up a discussion on Iraq, this is about Demorat vs Republican (Or Demorat deuce as is the case now)

I thought this was either the most brilliant move a wannabe President could make or the DUMBEST. We all know what happens when Demorat’s visit a war zone, Pelosi, Murtha, and others did and they saw things totally different than their Republican counterparts. When the Republicans visit at least they are somewhat optimistic, they see both sides and try to put a little hope in the morale, the Demorats on the other hand, especially those whose election is tied to withdrawal can’t be seen supporting any aspect of this war. While the truth can be found somewhere in the middle, McCain left little wiggle room for the stealth Muzzie Racist Demorat challenger.

I would award the point for political posturing to McCain or as I like to refer to him “McKennedy”
