Karzai follows Maliki onto Obama bandwagon

Just after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said, it’s time for an Obama-style 16-month deadline for U.S. troop withdrawals, Afghan President Hamid Karzai says Obama would be “a strong partner.”

It wasn ‘t a cutdown of McCain; Karzai said either candidate would be a “strong partner.” Nonetheless, it helps Obama’s foreign policy chops.

At the same time, four years ago, John Kerry was practically getting official endorsement from several world leaders, so don’t read much into this.
