DAYTON, Ohio (AFP) — Democrat Barack Obama lambasted Tuesday President George W. Bush's plans for a limited military redeployment from Iraq to Afghanistan as woefully insufficient to go after the extremists behind the attacks on the United States of seven years ago.

Obama said the "very modest" Bush plan would still extend a "war without end" in Iraq and insisted that his Republican White House rival, John McCain, was bent on the same course after much expense in US lives and cash...

..."What President Bush and Senator McCain don't understand is that the central front in the war on terror is not in Iraq, and it never was -- the central front is in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the terrorists who hit us on 9/11 are still plotting attacks seven years later," Obama said.

"Now, the choice for the American people could not be clearer. John McCain has been talking a lot about change, but he's running for four more years of the same foreign policy that we've had under George Bush."

3. I agree

One has to wonder if all this plotting is going on in Pakistan and Afghanistan, why so many hijackers were Saudi?

4. Bush gets his one true wish

Kickin' the can of the disastrous Iraq occupation down the road to the next President, while he skips away to Texas. While the cedar-gathering provided him respite from the press corps, he always hated that phony Rovian "ranch" you know.... which is why Laura has been actively house-hunting in Houston.
