I'm not sure why people think Barack Obama hasn't shared specific ideas. He shares them all the time. Not in an easy sound bite, but in a broader context.
Its pointless to give specifics about issues with variables that change from day to day. What has value is learning how a candidate makes decisions that arise from the variables shifting. I want to know what your priority is when you're making a decision. I want to know how you consult with others, how you try to find compromise. I want to know if you propose band-aid solutions without any regard for also solving the fundamental problem.
Today, Barack Obama gave a foreign policy speech.
Why John McCain and George Bush are wrong in their plans for Iraq:
"George Bush and John McCain don't have a strategy for success in Iraq - they have a strategy for staying in Iraq. They said we couldn't leave when violence was up, they say we can't leave when violence is down. They refuse to press the Iraqis to make tough choices, and they label any timetable to redeploy our troops "surrender," even though we would be turning Iraq over to a sovereign Iraqi government - not to a terrorist enemy. Theirs is an endless focus on tactics inside Iraq, with no consideration of our strategy to face threats beyond Iraq's borders."
