McCain blasts Obama’s foreign policy plans

At an American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says that America’s progress in Iraq is a “direct result” of the new military strategies that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “vehemently opposed” and that he predicted would fail. McCain says that Obama’s plan to withdraw one or two brigades per month until they are all removed, “regardless of the conditions in Iraq, regardless of the consequences for our national security, regardless of the Israel security, and in disregard of the best advice from our commanders on the ground” will “surely result in catastrophe.” McCain says that if U.S. troops are forced to retreat, the Middle East will be subject to “all-out civil war, genocide, and a failed state.” (0:55)
