Announcer: He added...

Biden (clip from "Meet the Press 9/9/07): "This is cutting off support that will save the lives of thousands of American troops."

“Despite what his increasingly desperate and dishonorable campaign says, John McCain opposed funding for our troops that would have brought them home, while Barack Obama voted against a blank check for George Bush. So if John McCain wants to talk about funding, he should explain why he voted against life-saving equipment for our troops in battle, voted repeatedly against funding for veterans health care, and wants to keep spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while the Iraqis have a surplus and our economy is in crisis,” said Obama-Biden spokesman Hari Sevugan.
