Possibly as a moderate and quasi-objective opinion in a town that spends millions of dollars per year on politicians.
Maybe they waited until now out of the foreign policy respect that some posters are accusing them of lacking.
I do recognize the move is party-to-mostly political; especially the timing. The NDP is going to DC now (instead of a week from now) because they expect it to make headlines and please their base. But it doesn't invalidate their claims, nor does it preclude the previous paragraphs from being true.
