Obama's speech brought a quick response from the presumptive Republican candidate, Senator John McCain.

奥巴马的讲话很快得到了共和党候选人，参议员 John McCain的回应。

McCain批评奥巴马在没有与美国官员及伊拉克，阿富汗当地官员协商的情况下就公布了有关这两个国家的外交策略。

"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."

“我注意到他今天谈论了他关于伊拉克和阿富汗的计划，而这些计划是在他离开之前，在他和Petraeus将军谈话之前，在他了解伊拉克的进展之前，也是在第一次踏足阿富汗之前就作出的。以我的经验，发掘事实的策略是最有效的。首先，你要实地考察现实情况，然后才可以提出一项新的策略。”
