>>More importantly, I think you're wrong. Obama hurt himself with the Canadian thing and his denial. Plus he didn't take time out to hold oversight hearings on Afghanistan even as the situation there is deteriorating. Hillary didn't make him make the denial or not hold the hearings, did she?<< Kate - I agree with you on the Canadian NAFTA thing, but the other is just propaganda. The Clinton camp's ad about Obama's failure to hold any hearings in his committee tied that directly to Afghanistan, but the facts really show that it's a stretch to do so. Senator Obama is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Europe. The only connection that might have to Afghanistan is that most NATO nations are in Europe, and NATO has a force in Afghanistan. That force is on a mission mandated by the UN to assist the Afghani government and police to secure Kabul and the surrounding area. FYI, 89 US troops are part of that force. I'm really not sure what kind of hearing that subcommittee could have that would have some bearing on a UN mission. - Allen
