Obama visits Afghanistan

2 comments

by Dan Spencer, Right Side Politics Examiner

Obama has finally seen fit to make a fact-finding trip to Afghanistan. Don't forget that Hillary Clinton correctly charged that Obama hasn’t done much of anything as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs:

“I also have heard Senator Obama refer continually to Afghanistan, and he references being on the Foreign Relations Committee,” Clinton said. “He chairs the Subcommittee on Europe. It has jurisdiction over NATO. NATO is critical to our mission in Afghanistan. He’s held not one substantive hearing to do oversight, to figure out what we can do to actually have a stronger presence with NATO in Afghanistan."

Senator McCain's presidential campaign also takes Obama to task over Obama's failure to take care of business in Afghanistan in a television ad entitled "Troop Funding." The ad highlights Barack Obama's record of failing to call a single oversight hearing on NATO's mission in Afghanistan, failing to visit our troops on the ground in Iraq for over 900 days and failing to support our troops when he voted against critical funding in 2007.

You can watch the ad below:
