Last week news wires discussed BUSH submitting to IRAQ sovereignty plan (50 plus permanent bases; right to arrest Iraqi's; US not subject to Iraq justice, etc). Today news show IRAQ and Maliki have REJECTED this proposal (RAW STORY has good link).
OBAMA should pounce on this story- it shows the BUSH/MCCAIN IRAQ was is complete fiacso- even getting past the invalid idea of going in, "flawed execution strategy", surge arguments that McCain is using now, this rejection by IRAQ of the US proposal shows that even today there is NO viable political solution (status quo)- and the BUSH/MCCAIN strategy going FORWARD is bad policy and a non starter.
If OBAMA argues this correctly he will seize the IRAQ/Foreign policy issue from McCAin (which to date I reluctantly see as a draw)(ie Obama right to avoid war and pull out; but McCAin is a war guy who might have plan to Win).
This is a game changer
