Why Obama's Iraq Trip is Perfection

... And really bad for McCain. Yglesias has a nice insight on how McCain called Obama out for not going to Iraq - assuming he'd either have to flip flop (if he saw progress) or remain out of touch .... but neither happened and now everyone agrees Obama was right all along! Whups. This also indicates that Obama wasn't just "lucky" - but was actually more attuned with the politics on the ground.

Also, E.J. writes in today's column how the more Bush Administration shifts toward Obama (Iran, timetables, etc.) the more "safe" Obama will seem to the general population ... which helps him compete (or beat) McCain on foreign policy experience.
