Obama's foreign policy by Sen. McCain in an attempt to go on the offensive and attack the a large issue that is at the forefront of the 2008 Presidential election. I enjoy the way in which you show the comment by President Bush and Sen. McCain and rebut their comments not with your own words but with the words of Sen. Obama himself. I agree with your analysis of the situation when it comes to the way in which Sen. McCain and President Bush handled the situation in their attempt to solidify Sen. McCain's foreign policy when conversely compared to that of Sen. Obama. My thoughts however are that this kind of behavior can be harmful to the United States globally. Since Pakistan is one of our allies, I don't think that it plays favorably in the interest of the nation to accuse a possible Presidential candidate of attacking a country with which the United States is currently in good graces. I believe this kind of an attack goes beyond differentiating between the foreign policies of a few candidates who are vying for the Presidency. I think that it is hard to motivate a country to come together and vote for who they think will be the best leader for the country, when those leaders are bickering amongst each other over a few false statements that are made in order to bolster a campaign. Overall, I believe that the Presidential campaign is a time for the country to come together and in order for that to happen, I think that the candidates should be careful which parts of the campaign which they choose attack.
