John McCain Watch: I Have Some News for Senator Obama

Barack Obama: “Anywhere, Anytime” to Debate McCain on Foreign Policy

Senator John McCain responds during his speech at the National Rifle Association Convention and calls Obama “NAIVE and IRRESPONSIBLE.”

“Earlier today, Senator Obama made a few remarks I would like to respond to. I welcome a debate about protecting America. No issue is more important. Senator Obama claimed all I had to offer was the ‘naive and irresponsible belief’ that tough talk would cause Iran to give up its nuclear program. He should know better. I have some news for Senator Obama: Talking, not even with soaring rhetoric, in unconditional meetings with the man who calls Israel a ‘stinking corpse’ and arms terrorist who kill Americans will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear program. It is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests.

“It would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don’t have enemies. But that is not the world we live in, and until Senator Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment, and determination to keep us safe.”

John McCain and the GOP are boxing Obama between the anti-war left and Jewish voters who worry about Iran wiping Israel off the face of the earth.

Obama in his comments earlier today has opened the door for an intense foreign policy debate. An area where Obama is woefully inexperienced.

Advantage: McCain
