On the record
"By any measure, our single-minded and open-ended focus on Iraq is not a sound strategy for keeping America safe. As president, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be," Obama said. "This is a war that we have to win. "
Barack Obama
The Democratic presidential candidate was setting out his views on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, ahead of a planned trip to the two countries.
