With Senator Obama now in Afghanistan, one might wonder about details of the trip, etc. Here to help is the Obama official travel briefing booklet. Dressed in the usual Obama colors and style, someone would never expect the deviousness with which it was written, published and distributed. The problem is, it was written by the John McCain campaign!! The briefing book is full of questions the McCain campaign thinks reporters should ask Obama in case he stops in Iraq or Afghanistan anytime soon, such as:
• "Why have you only now decided to visit Afghanistan for the first time after having been in office for more than three and a half years?"
• "What would Iraq look like today if we had implemented your plan, announced in January 2007, to bring all of our troops home by March 2008?"
• "If you think that the surge has failed in Iraq, why are you advocating a surge in Afghanistan?"
• "Why have you only now decided to visit Afghanistan for the first time after having been in office for more than three and a half years?"
• "What would Iraq look like today if we had implemented your plan, announced in January 2007, to bring all of our troops home by March 2008?"
• "If you think that the surge has failed in Iraq, why are you advocating a surge in Afghanistan?"
The 51 pages also include background material on what the McCain team believes are Obama's shifts in thinking about Iraq and Afghanistan. Click here for the booklet in its entirety.
