Generals Rebuke McCain's False Attack On Obama Over Military Hospital Visit

Washington, D.C. - Even as John McCain's campaign has backtracked<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=a6s6zpcab.0.0.olnitxbab.0&ts=S0352&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnmccain.com%2FMcCainReport%2FRead.aspx%3Fguid%3D85b6e120-412c-41bd-84e4-f6e898065a19&id=preview> from its recent and erroneous assertions regarding Barack Obama's cancelled visit to a military hospital in Germany, three retired Generals signed on to a statement criticizing McCain's decision to falsely attack Obama. Below is the full text of the statement:
"Over the last several days, Senator McCain and his political handlers have engaged in a systematic attempt to fabricate a story that intends to call into question Senator Obama's patriotism. We believe that by doing so, Senator McCain has abandoned the principles that have led so many military officers to respect him for so many years.

"We are profoundly disappointed that in the thick of political battle, he has been willing to abandon his principles in order to try to win an election.

"We call on Senator McCain and his political operatives to abandon these dishonorable tactics that demean our politics and undermine the commitment that all of us made as military officers to defend the principles and ideals that lay at the foundation of our democracy. "
