Republican John McCain on Saturday issued a scathing critique of Barack Obama's judgment and readiness to be commander in chief, telling a veterans' group his Democratic rival had tried to "legislate failure" in Iraq and placed his own ambition ahead of military success there.
Addressing the Disabled American Veterans convention here, McCain mocked what he called Obama's varying positions on the Bush administration's decision to send an additional 30,000 troops to Iraq last year. The Republican hopeful supported the so-called "surge" strategy, even as polls showed most voters opposed sending more troops into combat at the time.
Obama spoke out against the original invasion as an Illinois state senator and strongly opposed the subsequent troop increase in the US Senate and on the campaign trail.
