John McCain tells us* that Barack Obama favors "surrender" in Iraq. Barack Obama tells us that he wants American troops to be phased out of Iraq by the summer of 2010, with a residual force left there to train Iraqis and deal with terrorists. The Bush administration now tells Iraq that U.S. forces will leave Iraq by the end of 2011.
So, are we to believe that the difference between victory and surrender is whether or not we keep U.S. troops there for an extra 15 months? Or are we to believe that John McCain will attack Barack Obama's patriotism and character any way he can, as long as it may help McCain reach the White House?
