McCain/Palin - Wrong On Afghanistan and Dishonorable in Their Campaign
I wanted to respond to the newest attack ad "dishonorable" which takes Barack's comments about our policy failures in Afghanistan out of context to intimate that he doesn't support our troops and is accusing them of some kind of murder.
Not that anyone believes most of what comes out of Palin or McCain's mouth, but everyone should review the attached article from the NY Times acknowledging that air raids in the region have caused disproportionate civilian casualities and further exacerbated negative attitudes toward the US. That was exactly Senator Obama's point. He wasn't criticizing the army - he was saying we need more support for us in this mission so that we can do more than engage in air raids, some of which have killed civilians diproportionately and inflamed tensions.
Once again - Barack is right. Palin and McCain are the "dishonorable" ones here.
