WASHINGTON, June 27 (UPI) -- Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama plans to travel to Iraq and Afghanistan next month, ABC News reported Friday.
The report said Obama planned to visit Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Britain, France and Germany in mid-July.
On the trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, he will be traveling with a congressional delegation, ABC said.
Obama came in for criticism this month from presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain and other Republicans, who note that Obama has not been to Iraq since January 2006 and has not spent sufficient time in Iraq to understand conditions there.
Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan said Obama "has no credibility discussing the future of Iraq."
Susan Rice, senior foreign policy adviser to the Obama campaign and a former assistant U.S. secretary of state, said GOP claims that Obama lacks credibility on the war are "complete garbage."
