>From an Obama campaign email sent out on March 20: ...Barack is now facing a two-front battle against Senators Clinton and McCain. Both are reading from the same political playbook as they attack Barack on foreign policy. They have both dismissed his call for renewed diplomacy as "naive" while mistakenly standing behind George Bush's policy of non-engagement that just isn't working....
David Plouffe Campaign Manager As the Obama campaign knows, what was dismissed as "naive" was his assertion that he would be willing in his first term to engage in direct talks with rogue nations without any preconditions. Hillary has sharply criticized Bush's policy of nonengagement. For Obama to claim she "stands behind it" is an outright lie.
