Sir,
In your leader this week on Barack Obama's ability to produce detailed strategies and policies and deliver, you espouse the same meme circulating in the media (and from the opposing candidate's camps) that Obama is all fluff and little experience and substance. to quote you, Obama's Iraq plan consists of "little more than pulling out quickly, convening a peace conference, inviting the Iranians and the Syrians along and hoping for the best." I'm sorry, where has Obama said anything remotely that simplistic? I must have missed the part where he said he was crossing his fingers as I was busy reading detailed policies readily available on his website.
After reading your glowing excitement ("Half -way There," February 19th) over McCain's resurgence and "reputation for straight talk (mostly, if not entirely deserved," I should have come to expect this type of lazy, conventional wisdom type of reporting. After all, McCain's "huge experience of international affairs" was the source of his detailed solution for Iraq: "I'd sit the Sunnis, Shia and Kurds down and say, guys, cut the bullshit already."
Wow, McCain's huge cache of experience has really led to a much more detailed plan than Obama's.
