Strategy '08http://strategy08.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/obama-stands-firm-on-iraq-hits-mccain-before-vfw/ [Strategy '08] Obama Stands Firm on Iraq, Hits McCain Before VFW: Six years ago, I stood up at a time when it was politically difficult to oppose going to war in Iraq, and argued that our first priority had to be finishing the fight against Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Senator McCain was already turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, and he became a leading supporter of an invasion and occupation of a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, and that - as despicable as Saddam Hussein was - posed no imminent threat to the American people.

The "Celebrity" tactic can be turned on its head, Obama could just have a commercial with McCain's sparse crowds and that picture of old men sleeping with McCain signs in their hands as the narrator asks "Why isn't John McCain's message resonating with Americans?"

The Swamp[The Swamp] McCain on Iraq war: 'I intend to win it': I have a question for my friends on the Left: What are you going to do if Barack Obama does become president and next year says, "My fellow Americans, I know I campaigned on getting our troops out of Iraq ASAP, and I still intend for that to happen. But the generals in Iraq tell me we need more time, and hence, while there will be some troop reductions, our presence in Iraq will remain well over 100,000 for the foreseeable future." What will you folks do and say, I wonder?
