CNN airs McCain ad attacking Obama over troop funding vote, but ignores McCain's own record

Summary: CNN aired clips of what correspondent Jim Acosta called a "new ad from John McCain" that "makes one of the most explosive charges of the campaign, accusing Barack Obama of endangering American soldiers by voting to cut off funds for the war." Despite mentioning that Obama said in the September 26 presidential debate that "he opposed that bill because it lacked a timeline for troop withdrawal," Acosta failed to note Obama also pointed out that McCain himself has voted against legislation to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

2. When will the McCain campaign figure out what the rest of have?
The country is against our occupation of Iraq. Constantly reminding us of our unwanted presence there, only helps Obama. I think this will fall flat.
