Iran Memo from Rep. Greg Craig
This memo outlines the differences between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton's approach to Iran. It is a great resource for you to understand the issue and how Senator Obama, once again, demonstrated his good judgment and leadership on a key foreign policy issue.
Washington Post Fact Check
The Washington Post ran a fact check on one of the false, anonymous email forwards that attacks Senator Obama's patriotism. This particular forward claims that Senator Obama refused to say the pledge of allegiance - the Washington Post exposes this forward to be false.
Also, feel free to forward this letter signed by Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, USAF (Ret), Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, USAF (Ret), and Richard Danzig, Secretary of the Navy (1998-2001) to anyone who doubts Barack's patriotism.
