McCain argues that the United States is succeeding in Iraq — although the war is still not over — because of last year’s “surge”of US troops, which Obama opposed. McCain’s aides and surrogates continued that theme on Tuesday, accusing Obama of what Rep Heather A Wilson called “a complete inability to acknowledge that the surge worked”.
But the Iraqi government’s newly stated position on troop withdrawals has put the McCain campaign — and many congressional Republicans who have been on record opposing timelines — in a difficult position. Randy Scheunemann, McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser, told reporters on a campaign conference call that the senator would gauge the proper level of US troops in Iraq according to security conditions on the ground and the advice of US military commanders. He made no mention of the views of Iraq’s elected government.
