Some people are Leaders, Others are followers……Bush-McCain adopts Obama’s strategic approach to Foreign Policy
Sen. John McCain made a major foreign policy shift with respect to Afghanistan yesterday when he said that we should transfer US troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. Prior to yesterday’s change in strategy, McCain had been pushing for NATO to send troops to Afghanistan rather than the US troop transfer that Obama has been proposing for almost a year now. But wait, Obama’s position has always been to send at least TWO brigades from Iraq to Afghanistan. Months and months later McCain all of sudden has an epiphany and says, lets send, “THREE brigades from Iraq to Afghanistan.” McCain changed his policy yesterday after Obama wrote an Op-Ed last Sunday highlighting this approach. As for who makes the better Commander-in-Chief, it looks like McCain is doing more following than leading in his approach to Iraq and Afghanistan. Judgment.
There was also another interesting development that occurred last night. The Bush administration announced that it will be making a major policy direction shift and following Obama’s “naive” foreign policy strategy. After a year of criticizing Obama for his willingness to meet with our enemies, the Bush administration has decided to do just that…..again! First, with Korea and now with Iran. Our third highest ranking diplomat, William Burns, will meet with Iran’s top nuclear negotiator. Up until this point, the Bush administration has refused to even sit down with Iran. Obama hates to say I told you so. But he did tell you so. The disastrous foreign policy of the current administration has resulted in severe consequences to our nation. It’s nice to see that they are following a sound foreign policy approach for a CHANGE. Judgment
