LAST NIGHT:

McCain: You might think that with that kind of concern that Senator Obama would have gone to Afghanistan, particularly given his responsibilities as the subcommittee chairman. By the way, when I’m subcommittee chairman, we take up the issues under my subcommittee.

THE FACTS: MCCAIN HAS ATTENDED FEWER AFGHANISTAN HEARINGS THAN OBAMA

McCain Has Attended Fewer Afghanistan-Related Senate Hearings Than Obama. “It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on Afghanistan over the last two years.” [Political Radar, abcnews.com, 7/17/08, http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/hearing-gate-ex.html]
