McCain attacks Obama for opposing a Pentagon program - one that McCain himself opposed in 2006

Back in 2006, John McCain lashed out at the Army, for its wasteful, bloated Future Combat Systems modernization program. Earlier today, it appears the Republican presidential nominee may have gone after his Democratic rival -- for opposing the very same program.

“During the primary {Obama} told a liberal advocacy group that he’d cut defense spending by tens of billions of dollars," McCain said today. He promised them he would, quote, ‘slow our development of future combat systems.’”

As Blake Hounshell notes (and as the Obama campaign confirms) the Illinois senator was "referring to Future Combat Systems (FCS), the controversial, $200 billion Pentagon procurement program, rather than 'future combat systems' as a generic concept."
