Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) plans a major policy speech in which he will pick apart the the Obama administration's approach to national security.

The address by the the House minority leader will take on Middle East issues and the global war on terrorism and will highlight his concerns "about how Washington is implementing the new strategy" in Afghanistan, a Boehner aide told The Hill.

The aide said Boehner would decry the White House's "lack of a comprehensive strategy to confront and defeat the terrorist threat."

Boehner will also express commitment to Israel while addressing the 92nd Annual American Legion convention.

The speech will be delivered Tuesday, the same day President Obama will give a prime-time address on the drawdown of U.S. combat troops in Iraq.

Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W.

John Boehner supported invading Iraq based on lies and innuendo knowing that Iraq had no part of the attacks on (11. He knew invading Iraq was not a component of a war on terrorism, he just suported the war and failed to pay for the costs of the war. He now opposes assisting the members of the Armed Forces in their return to the States. Ah, what comprehensive strategy will this mind next consider?
