Ad Hawk: Bon Voyage, Barack! (McCain Airs First Negative Ad While Obama Is Away)
Popular Videos – McCain aired the first real negative ad of the 2008 general-election. McCain accuses Obama of 3 offenses: he "never held Senate a hearing on Afghanistan"; he "hasn't been to Iraq in years"; and he "vot[ed] against troop funding."

Dr. Susan Rice Bashes McCain on Afghanistan Policy
Politics – After years of denying it was a problem, McCain woke up and discovered Afghanistan, but has no credible plan. He wants to surge in Afghanistan without reducing troops in Iraq, which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says is impossible.
