Obama reaches out for McCain's counsel
WASHINGTON (International Herald Tribune) - Not long after Senator John McCain returned last month from an official trip to Iraq and Pakistan, he received a phone call from President-elect Barack Obama.
As contenders for the presidency, the two had hammered each other for much of 2008 over their conflicting approaches to foreign policy, especially in Iraq. (He'd lose a war! He'd stay a hundred years!) Now, however, Obama said he wanted McCain's advice, people in each camp briefed on the conversation said. What did he see on the trip? What did he learn?
