Number 7: McCain was for Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and David Souter before he was against them. At Saddleback he told the evangelical crowd that, if he had it to do over again, he would never have voted in favor of their nominations.

The past seven-plus years have shown us that "foreign policy experience," in and of itself, isn't all it's cracked up to be. For Exhibit A of this look no further than George Bush's most "experienced" foreign policy advisor: Dick Cheney. How's that working out?

Obama must challenge McCain on the single issue where he remains strongest. Without the national security and foreign policy legs to stand on, the McCain candidacy goes nowhere.

Republicans in Congress, led by McCain, are once again reacting to Russian saber-rattling in a manner that reflects their complete misunderstanding of the threats the United States and our allies face.

McCain has decided to build up an innocuous-sounding alternative called a 'League of Democracies -- an alliance of countries the US labels democratic that can be used to legitimate US military actions.

McCain's approach and tone on foreign policy has always been more emblematic of a TV pundit rather than a sober president.
Kent Greenfield | Posted 08.15.2008 | Politics
It strikes me as presumptuous indeed for McCain to telephone the president of one of the warring nations, especially to promise something serious. What exactly does "we are all Georgians" mean?

Voters trust McCain on the war on terror; Obama needs to show them every day why they shouldn't.

On Letterman that October, our experience candidate, was selling Bush's disastrous foreign policy, just as he is today, and in the signature Bush style: smugly and crudely.

Like all right-wing foreign policy hacks, Randy Scheunemann is a fervent believer in the sanctity of American power as an infallible force for good.

Supporting the status quo on Israel is the path of least resistance. It is easy and risk-free. But it only adds to Israel's security problems -- and America's declining strategic position in the Middle East.

McCain is not as diabolical as Nixon, but he remains ideologically confined by the same faulty hawkish logic the U.S. used to lose the Vietnam War.

McCain's call for an "integrated" "multi-front" plan for victory in Aghanistan is just gobbledygook for "stay the course but make tweaks around the margins."

So here was the McCain campaign accusing Obama of being insufficiently multilateral and pro-diplomacy in its foreign policy. It's hard to know where to begin.
