Iraq
Barack Obama
Spoke against war at start, opposed troop increase. Now says his plan would complete withdrawal of combat troops by end of 2009, four months sooner than his previous commitment. Before that, had said a timetable for completing withdrawal would be irresponsible without knowing what facts he'd face in office.
John McCain
Opposes scheduling a troop withdrawal, saying latest strategy is succeeding. Supported decision to go to war, but was early critic of the manner in which administration prosecuted it. Key proponent of the troop increase. Willing to have permanent U.S. peacekeeping forces in Iraq, similar to long-term military presence in South Korea and Japan.
Iran
Barack Obama
Initially said he would meet leaders of Iran and other rogue states without preconditions, now says he's not sure "Ahmadinejad is the right person to meet with right now." Says direct diplomacy with Iranian leaders would give U.S. more credibility to press for tougher international sanctions. Says there would be ample preparation for any presidential meeting.
John McCain
Favors tougher sanctions, opposes direct high-level talks with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Says he hopes disputes with Iran can be resolved peacefully but says all options, including some kind of military strike, must be on the table.
