What a week for foreign policy shifts. On both Iran and Iraq, the Bush Administration seems to be coming around to the Obama position. Changing facts on the ground will force Senator McCain to follow. low level talks with Iran have finally begun, and the Administration is now thinking of a time line. In fact Prime Minister al Maliki said that Senator Obama's 16 month plan is the best.
On a deeper level, the Iran and Iraq policy shifts reveal the personal qualities of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and John McCain. Senator Obama is innately a strategic thinker who naturally blends all types of perspectives. President Bush and Senator McCain are tacticians. They grab onto their own narrow agenda, and twist and turn with changing dynamics to keep doing whatever they want to do.
The Presidency is about the personal qualities, not resume qualifications. Barack called it on a number of foreign and domestic issues, and in the coming months the American people will see him as a man vision and action.
