Thanks for the clarification. I think that's right, but I also think that the campaign is rightly concluding that their main (not exclusive) point of emphasis should still be economic issues, as suggested by polls showing that as the #1 issue.
But I think there are inextricably linked. The fact that there is such towering economic security means the public will be much more sympathetic to the fact that we can't be spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year starting new wars and occupying and re-building more countries. I actually think that the economic arguments against McCain's warmongering will resonate more than the foreign policy arguments against it.
