Ignoring Sen. John McCain's own vote against troop funding, an October 21 Associated Press article by staff writer Sandra Chereb reported that Gov. Sarah Palin accused Sen. Barack Obama of “voting to cut funding to troops, which Palin said left those in Iraq at grave risk.” While Chereb noted that “Obama's lone vote against a funding measure came because the bill did not include a timetable for withdrawal of troops” and that Obama “followed with a vote for funding and has supported every other funding measure,” the article did not mention that McCain himself voted against legislation that would have funded the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and would have provided more than $1 billion to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
