8 Stages Alert: Obama Says Visiting Iraq Is A Distraction

As Don Surber writes:

Any time he screws up, the criticism is a distraction from “the real issues,” whatever those are.

Also, any time the issue is one the neophyte Presidential wannabe cannot answer

Obama, who spoke to reporters on his airplane on Wednesday night as he flew home to Chicago, said it’s “not relevant” that he hasn’t been to Iraq since 2006 and that McCain was using the argument as a diversion.

“I don’t think John McCain or the Bush administration have a very strong argument to make about their foreign policy, so they’re going to try to come up with diversions or distractions and not argue the substance,” Obama said.

That would be a #6. Except, this time, he doesn’t want to talk about Iraq.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t visiting Iraq, talking with the troops and commanders, and seeing what is actually happening on the ground in Iraq be, oh, I don’t know, an important issue?
