John McCain’s campaign launched a new television ad Monday calling Barack Obama “dishonorable" and "too risky."
The ad revisits Obama’s remark that troops in Afghanistan are “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians,” a line Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been repeating recently.
“How dishonorable,” the narrator says following a clip of Obama making the remark.
“Congressional liberals voted repeatedly to cut off funding to our active troops. Increasing the risk on their lives. How dangerous.”
“Obama and congressional liberals. Too risky for America.”
Obama made the remark during a campaign stop in New Hampshire in August 2007.
Asked during a town hall if troops should be moved out of Iraq to better fight terrorism, Obama turned to Afghanistan and said, “we've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.”
