Obama's speech brought a quick response from the presumptive Republican candidate, Senator John McCain.
Obama的演講得到了被推定的共和黨候選人參議員John McCain的回應。

McCain批評Obama在和兩個國家的美國和當地官員咨詢前公開對付伊拉克和阿富汗的戰略。

"I note that he is speaking today about his plans for Iraq and Afghanistan before he has even left, before he has talked to General Petraeus, before he has seen the progress in Iraq, and before he has set foot in Afghanistan for the first time. In my experience, fact-finding missions usually work best the other way around. First you assess the facts on the ground, then you present a new strategy."
“我注意到他今天關於他對應伊拉克和阿富汗的演講是在他離開之前的，在他與Petraeus將軍談話前的，在他了解到伊拉克的進展前的，在他第一次參訪阿富汗之前的。根據我的經驗，找出事實的任務通常是做有用的。首先你要評估當地的情況，然後提出一項新的戰略。”

McCain has long been a champion of the Bush's administration's military surge strategy in Iraq and says a similar approach is required in Afghanistan.
