McCain Uses Petraeus in Fundraising Email

Clicking on the photo takes you directly to a campaign contribution form on McCain's campaign website. In the email, McCain writes:

Senator Obama speaks openly about his willingness to sit down with our enemies and engage in open talks, but he hasn't gone to Iraq in over two years to meet with our leaders and see that progress is being made on the ground. Something is wrong with your judgment when you want to sit down unconditionally with Raul Castro and Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but you don't take the opportunity to sit down with General Petraeus and learn about the situation in Iraq firsthand.

The Obama campaign has since complained about the use of Petraeus in the campaign email. McCain addressed the issue today, promising that his campaign wouldn't use Petraeus in future campaign literature.
