McCain has for years avoided every meeting on Afghanistan of the Senate Armed Service Committee he chairs.

According the the McCain campaign, the European Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which Obama chairs has not scheduled any hearings on Afghanistan in the last year and a half. So ABC News looked into the issue. And what did they find?

Obama attended the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Afghanistan in March 2007.

McCain's record is much worse.

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.

This failed message from the McCain campaign is simply political incompetence. It certainly supports the allegations that the McCain is poorly managed.
