The Obama campaign recently announced that there will be a Foreign Policy Town Hall this Saturday at Germanna Community College in Fredericksburg featuring Richard Clarke and Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA). Click here for more info on the event.
Clarke is the counter-terrorism expert who's served under the last four Presidents and wrote the best selling Against All Enemies. Rep. Harman currently serves as the Chairwoman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment.
McCain thinks the recent conflict between Russia and Georgia was "the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War." He thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border. He believes Czechoslovakia is still a country. He's been confused about the difference between Sudan and Somalia. He's been confused about whether he wants more U.S. troops in Afghanistan, more NATO troops in Afghanistan, or both. He's been confused about how many U.S. troops are in Iraq. He's been confused about whether the U.S. can maintain a long-term presence in Iraq. He's been confused about Iran's relationship with al Qaeda. He's been confused about the difference between Sunni and Shi'ia. McCain, following a recent trip to Germany, even referred to "President Putin of Germany." All of this incoherence on his signature issue.
