PM stands by Obama attack

Prime Minister John Howard has defended his comments about United States presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposed policies.

The spat erupted when Democrat Senator Obama said he would like US troops out of Iraq by March 2008.

Mr Howard responded by saying that if he ran Al Qaeda, he would put a circle around March next year and pray for Mr Obama to win.

The attack on Senator Obama's plan has upset several US Democrats, including Senator Ron Wyden, who believes Mr Howard is meddling in US politics.

"The most charitable thing you can say about Mr Howard's comment is it's bizarre," Senator Wyden said.

"You know, we'll make our own judgements in this country with respect to elections and Barack Obama's a terrific public servant."

However, Mr Howard says the suggestion he is interfering in US politics is absurd.
