McCain mocks Obama on international trip

US Republican presidential candidate John McCain mocked rival Barack Obama’s high-profile international tour, as the Democrat argued in London that US President George Bush and McCain were shifting towards his policy on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr McCain virtually dared Mr Obama to make the trip during earlier campaigning, claiming that his rival was naive on foreign policy and national security and pointing out that the Illinois Democrat wanted to withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months of his presidency, even though had not been to Iraq since January 2006.
