A Major Difference on Foreign Policy Posted by Shadi Hamid

We can't cede any ground on national security to the Republicans. We can't buy into their narratives, and we certainly shouldn't try to replicate their "toughness." We need a candidate who will say - clear and unapologetically - we're Democrats, and proud of it, and, yes, there is another way on foreign policy. So, on this Super Tuesday, one of the questions we should be asking ourselves is which candidate offers a chance to launch a full-court press and destroy the embedded Republican advantage on national security once and for all.

Obama made this point very convincingly in a recent speech in Denver, and I think it points to a very significant difference between the two candidates: 

It’s time for new leadership that understands that the way to win a debate with John McCain is not by nominating someone who agreed with him on voting for the war in Iraq; who agreed with him by voting to give George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; who agrees with him in embracing the Bush-Cheney policy of not talking to leaders we don’t like; and who actually differed with him by arguing for exceptions for torture before changing positions when the politics of the moment changed. We need to offer the American people a clear contrast on national security, and when I am the nominee of the Democratic Party, that’s exactly what I will do. Talking tough and tallying up your years in Washington is no substitute for judgment, and courage, and clear plans. It’s not enough to say you’ll be ready from Day One – you have to be right from Day One."

I tend to agree. Obama's earlier statements on talking to foreign leaders greatly endeared me to him.

[Greg Sanders]

Endeared him to me rather. Obama has doubtless never heard of me.

[Mike M.]

Obama's heard of you, Greg Sanders. He sees us all. He's like Santa.

[Greg Sanders]

Mke M.: That could explain his early win in Iowa. He did the ultimate in retail politics and just visited every house on Christmas eve.
