Who to believe?

The Obama Campaign says this

The Pentagon says This.

Considering that people such as the president and Mcain are known to have visited the wounded troops without the need for photographers and media following to document their love for the the troops for a campaign photo op. I think this simply shows that Obama only cares for the troops and anything else for that matter only if it helps his political ends. I wonder if this thinking carries over to the Leave it to Beaver family he present to the world.
