The war in Iraq has distorted America’s foreign policy, cost it thousands of lives, tarnished its image and emptied its treasury, Senator Barack Obama said on Tuesday.
In remarks during a town-hall meeting in Albuquerque, N.M., Senator John McCain accused Mr. Obama of pursuing a strategy of defeat and drawing judgments without adequate facts.
Times/CBS son anketinden: Views of the war in Iraq divide sharply along partisan lines. Seven in 10 Republicans say taking military action was the right thing to do, while 8 in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents say the United States should have stayed out.
Republicans are also far more apt to say the situation there is going well: Seventy-five percent say so, while just 25 percent of Democrats agree. Independents fall in-between, with 47 percent of them saying things are going well in Iraq.
