Hillary Clinton today weighed in on the Obama Iraq Controversy. Obama has resisted going to Iraq with John McCain even though he has only gone once. Today Hillary Clinton had this to say about John McCain and the trips she took with him, "“I have the highest respect and regard for Sen. McCain, he and I have actually gone to Iraq and Afghanistan together, and I honor his service to our country and his patriotism.” Sounds like Hillary is willing to see the truth while Barack Obama perfers to employ empty rhetoric without knowing the truth.

Why would Obama go to Iraq
The National Journal has this:
RENO, NV -- In a Reno gymnasium festooned with American flags, John McCain knocked Barack Obama today for failing to visit Iraq since 2006 or meet with the U.S. generals overseeing the military efforts in the region.
McCain contrasted Obama's accused negligence with the Illinois senator's proposal to meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking, "Why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the president of Iran but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus, the leader of our troops in Iraq?"
The McCain camp's criticism of Obama's single pre-surge trip to Iraq originated Sunday, when surrogate Sen. Lindsey Graham raised the issue and proposed a joint McCain/Obama trip to the region as a solution. (McCain has visited eight times to Obama's one.) McCain told the Associated Press Monday that he hopes to use such a venture to "educate" Obama. The Republican National Committee joined in today, posting a clock of the days elapsed since the likely Democratic nominee visited Iraq.
McCain reiterated that appeal, saying of the proposed trip with Obama, "I would be glad to go with him because these issues are far more important than any election. The security of this nation is far more important than any political campaign."
He read aloud the Obama camp's strongly-worded reaction statement, in which spokesman Bill Burton derided the offer as a "political stunt" and called McCain's optimism about the war a "false promise."
"That is a profound misunderstanding of what's happened in Iraq and what's at stake in Iraq," McCain retorted.
"I will never surrender in Iraq," he added, "I will not let that happen."
Of Course Obama will not go or meet with Generals. Then he would not be able to honestly through around his empty rhetoric. It would also require him to lead on an issue that he has knowledge of. Something he has not bothered to do in his brief experience of running for higher office after higher office.

New McCain Ad in New Hampshire knock Hillary's Woodstock Funding
John McCain is running a new ad in New Hampshire that directly attacks Hillary Clinton's earmark for the Woodstock Museum. He also references the wasteful spending of the current Washington establishment. This is a good ad for John McCain as it identifies with an issue he has long been known for. John McCain has always been against the current earmark wasteful spending that is becoming the standard operation of the United States Congress. It also never hurts to take a Hilary shot especially over something as silly as one million dollars for a Woodstock Museum.
