Senator Barack Obama responded sharply to the attacks on his foreign policy, linking President Bush and Senator John McCain as partners in 'the failed policies' of the past seven years.
Obama also criticised them for 'hypocrisy, fear peddling, fear mongering'.
He said they were guilty of 'bluster' and 'dishonest, divisive' tactics. He cited a litany of what he called foreign policy blunders by the Bush administration.
Obama listed the Iraq war, the strengthening of Iran and groups like Hamas and Hezbullah, Osama Bin Laden's being still at large and stalled diplomacy in other parts of the Middle East among their chief failings.
A spokesman called the remarks a 'hysterical diatribe in response to a speech in which his name wasn't even mentioned'.
Throughout his comments about foreign policy, Obama yoked Mr. Bush and McCain as one entity.
