McCain Attacks Obama For Refusing To Go On "Baghdad Stroll"
John McCain apparently thinks he's got a winning issue in Obama's refusal to join him on his next "Baghdad Stroll."
On the stump today, McCain attacked Obama over the statement we posted yesterday, in which the Obama campaign effectively told McCain to take his "invitation" for a joint Iraq trip and stick it in a warm, dark place. Take a look...
"To say that we've failed in Iraq and that we're not succeeding does not comport with the facts on the ground," McCain said. "So we've got to show him the facts on the ground."
One imagines that the McCain camp thinks they effectively laid a trap for Obama by getting him to refuse his invitation. It's only a matter of time until McCain surrogates start arguing that Obama won't meet with the troops.
It's hard to imagine they'll get any real traction with something as transparently silly as this one, though.
