McCain: ‘Maybe it’s time Obama went back to Iraq

May 26th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

McCain and Lindsey Graham were really having some fun by calling out Obama to go back to Iraq and see for himself the changes the country has made since his last visit back in 2006. Senator Graham went so far as to invite Obama to join McCain on a trip. You can almost see Obama squirming in his seat at the thought.  

“Senator Obama keeps talking about an immediate withdrawal as soon as he gets to be president. The last time I understand he was in Iraq was in 2006. I would recommend that he go back. So much has happened since 2006 on the ground. It’s been extraordinary,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close McCain ally, told CBS Face the Nation yesterday. “I think if he would look at what’s happened in Iraq, talk to General Petraeus and (Prime Minister) Maliki, I think he would have a different view of what you need to do next.”
