Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama has said the US should “finish the fight” against terror outfits al-Qaeda and Taliban instead of sending troops to Iraq.

Obama lashed out at Bush and McCain for not holding Pakistan responsible for failure to crack down militant outfits.

“We should finish the fight against al-Qaeda and Taliban instead of going into Iraq,” Obama said.

“And I’ve repeatedly challenged George Bush and John McCain’s refusal to hold the Pakistani Government accountable for inability to crack down on al-Qaeda and Taliban. We won’t get Afghanistan right until we get our Pakistan policy right,” he said.
