Many Israelis are wary of Obama's willingness to talk with Tehran, an avowed enemy of the Jewish state. The campaign of GOP presidential candidate John McCain said that Obama was backtracking on promises that he'd meet with Iran's leaders without preconditions. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mccain08/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080723/ap_on_el_pr/obama_mccain_oratory ap/20080723/obama_mccain_oratory AP Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:22:11 GMT <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mccain08/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080723/ap_on_el_pr/obama_mccain_oratory"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080723/capt.0b6c6499bdf341db881dc26fc31f1130.obama_mccain_oratory_wx110.jpg?x=130&y=90&q=85&sig=zNYNGVXayhO1oAZjhDymWA--" align="left" height="90" width="130" alt="In this Jan. 29, 2008 file photo, then Republican presidential hopeful, Sen.
