John McCain and his Afghanistan Hypocrisy

The hypocrisy of John McCain continued yesterday when he self-righteously accused Obama of not holding a hearing on Afghanistan.  Under the headline: Hearing-Gate Exposed! McCain Has Worse Afghanistan Hearing Record Than Obama, ABC reports that John McCain has a worse record of Afghanistan hearing attendance than Barack Obama ever had.  

ABC Reports: It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on Afghanistan over the last two years.

ABC furter reported: The findings are surprising given the fact that the McCain campaign loudly criticized Obama this week for failing to schedule any hearings on Afghanistan in the last year and a half.  Obama chairs the European Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which has oversight of military operations in Afghanistan.

The McCain campaign has a lot of chutzpah continuing to criticize Obama over and over again for things that he himself is guilty of.  Does he not realize that all of his statements are easily verifiable?  John McCain has not showed up for a single vote in the Senate since April.
