Commander in Chief Questions

Obama just hit Clinton with the Iraq judgment argument, his strongest possible line of attack against her. He was right on the question of whether or not we should go into Iraq, and she was not, and there were profound consequences that resulted from that.

John King let her off the hook by getting her to respond to his question on whether or not the surge is working. The democrats will be fine on this issue v. McCain. Americans want their troops to come home, and the Iraq issue is now a political issue that only Iraqis can solve. Obama is making the case that he will be stronger against McCain because he was right on the Iraq issue from the beginning, and then launched into a rather wide-ranging attack on McCain that went all the way from the War to the economy.
