Obama e l'Iraq, l'ultima parola

Il New York Times aveva attaccato pochi giorni fa Obama per le sue giravolte politiche: sull'Iraq il senatore rispondee oggi sullo stesso giornale. Dopo l'intervista di Zakaria (vedi il post più sotto) appare evidente che per Obama è partita la campagna del chiarimento. Qui la conclusione dell'articolo:

In this campaign, there are honest differences over Iraq, and we should discuss them with the thoroughness they deserve. Unlike Senator McCain, I would make it absolutely clear that we seek no presence in Iraq similar to our permanent bases in South Korea, and would redeploy our troops out of Iraq and focus on the broader security challenges that we face. But for far too long, those responsible for the greatest strategic blunder in the recent history of American foreign policy have ignored useful debate in favor of making false charges about flip-flops and surrender.

It’s not going to work this time. It’s time to end this war.
