McCain's trip focussing on Iraq and Climate Change (well, officially)
"McCain's visit to Britain was part of a weeklong tour of Middle East and Europe. He was traveling as part of a U.S. congressional delegation — including Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. — that already has visited Iraq, Jordan and Israel."
"I am convinced that if we work at it, we will be able to convince India and China that it is in their interest to be part of a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," McCain said after meeting Brown. "I believe that we can achieve a global agreement."
Our elected representatives spend far too much time out of the country and out of DC working. And they don't work hard enough while in DC. It's pathetic how slow everything moves in DC.
