Why Isn’t McCain on the Offensive?
Barack Obama has spent the last week, shifting, turning and twisting around the fact he opposed the surge in
Iraq. Now, along with a herd of media, Obama must admit the surge is working or more fitting worked. Stabilization has been brought to
Iraq, although that state could be altered at any moment, thousands of Al Qaeda holy warriors are dead, nearly nutralizing the terror group. Obama has also been reworking his stance on
Iran, talking a bit tougher and apparently shying away his negotiation minus conditions. Yet, there sits McCain silent and void of action. The McCain camp should be collecting not only Barack’s comments but Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s constant banter that the war failed and the surge will not work. Posting it on television ads, repeating it in speeches and forcing a conversation about the Democrats and foreign policy. If McCain seeks to keep Obama pinned in a corner he should be acting now. Remind the American people of where he once stood, before he convinces them of having a new one. Of all things John McCain is not, he was exactly correct on the war. He attacked President Bush for a lack of force, he argued for an overwhelming force to be thrust down upon the enemy combatants. Now he stands by silently, seemingly frozen by an undefined fear of attacking Barack Obama. If McCain insists on holding this path, the voters will soon forget what Obama was and only remember what he is trying to become.
