McCain-Palin ad distorts Obama’s remark on Afghanistan and support for troop-funding bills.SummaryA McCain-Palin ad calls Obama “dishonorable,” while distorting his words and votes on troop funding. * It accuses him of saying “our troops in Afghanistan” are just bombing villages and killing civilians. What Obama said, in context, was a criticism of U.S. military strategy, and not of American troops. * It accuses Obama and “Congressional liberals” of voting repeatedly to cut off funding for troops, “increasing the risk on their lives.” In fact, the votes were for bringing the troops home, cutting off funding only if the president failed to comply.http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/dishonorable.html
