Parallel arguments.

McCain is addressing the Afghan question with his knowledge of the region, saying that he’s “been there” and knows about the politics. “I would not publicly say that I’m going to attack [Pakistan].”

Obama, meanwhile, is talking up strategy and the need for forces currently in Iraq. There’s also this question of whether Obama favors attacking Pakistan, which I think he wins through a typically conservative (!) argument through military strikes on terrorists.

McCain is now going over his 26 year record on military hesitancy — opposing forces in Lebanon, Somalia; favoring forces in Gulf War and Bosnia.
