LAS VEGAS — 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, McCain mocked what he called Obama’s varying positions on the Bush administration’s decision to send an additional 30,000 service members to Iraq last year. The GOP hopeful supported the so-called surge strategy, even as polls showed most voters opposed sending more troops into combat at the time.
