John McCain continues to hammer away at Barak Obama and his opposition to the Iraq War. He points out that the “Surge” is working and if we would have pulled out when Obama wanted to, disaster would have befallen all of us.
Barak needs to keep reminding McCain and the voting public that the war on Iraq was a terrible, terrible mistake, a blunder that cost thousands of lives and continues to cost lives on a daily basis and did not even make a dent in the “Al-Qaeda Terrorist” ranks because THEY WERE NOT IN IRAQ, THEY WERE AND ARE IN AFGHANISTAN.
McCain points at the success of the “surge” and Obama needs to keep telling him that the “surge” did not work and is not working because even though violence is down, no progress on the political front in Iraq has been made and therefore nothing has changed.
Observers on the ground in Iraq say that it is not the American “surge” that is responsible for curtailing sectarian violence but the Iraqi people themselves who have had enough slaughter and are now controlling the various militias.
Barack needs to focus on Afghanistan as the center of terrorism and the importance of that war for everyone concerned and how, if Bush took care of Afghanistan in the beginning instead of committing all our military resources to an ill-advised war on Iraq, we would not be in the situation we are in now. Since McCain backed Bush, blame McCain for the current untenable situation in Afghanistan and keep painting Iraq as a blunder that now needs to be fixed and it cannot be fixed by the same people that made the blunder; that would be illogical and stupid.
