In a fundraising email sent to supporters yesterday afternoon, John McCain's campaign included a photo of the Arizona senator shaking hands with Gen. David Petraeus. 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.
