Bracketing Obama's Trip

Today, the McCain campaign will send out a video called "The Obama Iraq Documentary: Whatever the Politics Demand."

"The video doesn't lie," a McCain aide says. "With Obama's trip coming up, we thought it important to put together a documentary video outlining the various zigs and zags of his position on Iraq. It presents a candidate willing to let his political ambition dictate his position on what is obviously the most critical national security issue we face."

And I've heard back from the McCain campaign: Obama, while overseas, is fair game.
