It started when McCain responded to Obama's statement in last night's Democratic debate that he would reserve the right to strike against Al Qaeda figures in Iraq after withdrawing American troops from the country.I thought that was a pretty damning statement using Obama's own rhetoric back at him and illustrating the Obama's "audacity" is only elligable when leftist causes summmon it."Is Senator Obama unaware that Al Qaeda is still present in Iraq, that our forces are successfully fighting them every day, and that his Iraq policy of withdrawal would embolden Al Qaeda and weaken our security?" McCain asked in a statement. "Where is the audacity of hope when it comes to backing the success of our troops all the way to victory in Iraq? What we heard last night was the timidity of despair."
I have my problems with McCain, but I also have a son in the sandbox.
I probably should have added that the proof of the effectiveness and cutting ability of the comment is that I heard no networks repeat it. They only gave lip service to McCain’s critique as starting an exchange and highlighted Obama’s response.
God Bless your son.
