Iraq: The Defining Difference Between McCain, Obama (2/2)

    The latest campaign jabs on Iraq come at the end of a week of back and forth volleys on the war, which is likely to be a key issue in the November election, along with the weakening U.S. economy.

    Tom DeFrank of the New York daily news is a frequent guest on VOA's Issues in the News Program
     
    "McCain is betting that the American people will be persuaded, ultimately, that no matter how angry they seem to be about what is going on in Iraq, we cannot afford to lose. And, I think that Obama is taking the position that we will not lose, but we do not need to have as many troops there as we do at the moment, and with three-quarters of the American people opposed to the war in Iraq, I think that is an issue that works for Obama better than it does for McCain."

    Iraq and the economy will likely be the focus of presidential debates later this year, but how many debates are held remains an open question.

    最近一次两个人关于伊拉克问题的辩论,在持续一周支持或反对战争的辩论中结束。伊拉克以及日益衰退的经济问题很可能成为11月总统大选的重要议题。

    纽约每日新闻报的汤姆·德弗兰克,也是VOA新闻节目的常客。

    他说:“麦凯恩在赌:最终,不管美国民众对伊拉克发生的事情有多么不满,他们将会被说服。我们输不起。并且,我认为奥巴马采取的立场是我们不会失败,但是我们没必要像现在这样在那里驻扎这么多的兵。3/4的美国人反对伊拉克战争,我认为,比起麦凯恩,这个议题对奥巴马更有利。”

    伊拉克和经济问题很可能是今年末总统选举辩论的焦点,但是两人之间有多少场辩论仍然是个未知数。
