Feingold offers Obama mixed reviews for his handling of Iraq.
"I've been pleased that his opposition has intensified over time. I was not that happy with his initial opposition to a timeline," Feingold said.
"I regard him as clearly stronger [on Iraq] than Sen. [Hillary Rodham] Clinton, indeed than [former] Sen. [John] Edwards," Feingold said. "Of all the people I've worked with that are running for president, I think Sen. Obama probably made the proposal that was most helpful in moving the [Senate Democratic] Caucus in the direction I would like to see it go."

The real news here is the role Obama's proposal had in moving the Senate debate. I knew the final Iraq proposal of the Senate was similar to Obama's, but until now I haven't seen anyone acknowledging Obama's contribution to the final proposal. According to Feingold, Obama's proposal played a pretty strong role.
Despite Edward's attacks, Obama apparently did do some leading on Iraq.
