McCain Gets It Wrong - One More Time!
Posted by Michael Link on April 14, 2008 at 01:13 PM
Here's the latest example of McCain's failure to understand American foreign policy. He was just asked if he'd divert troops from Iraq to Afghanistan to keep his promise to chase bin Laden "to the gates of hell." No, McCain said, unless Gen. Petraeus said it was necessary.
But as a press release we just put out points out, "as the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, General Petraeus would not be making that decision. That would be the responsibility of Lieutenant General Martin Dempsey, who temporarily replaced Admiral William Fallon as chief of Centcom when Admiral Fallon retired in March."
In addition, we already know that the war in Iraq has diverted important resources from Afghanistan.
McCain should be careful; he's starting to become a parody of himself, displaying a dangerous lack of understanding of foreign policy.
