Welcome to PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly. In the months ahead, the news staffs of both organizations will examine major claims by presidential candidates and rule on their veracity. Our Truth-O-Meter will help voters sort fact from fiction in the campaign. This is a working database and over time it will grow more valuable.
Today, we dig into Mitt Romney's claim that former President Clinton is responsible for our smaller military and Sen. Joe Biden's statement that pulling troops out of Iraq would take a whole year to complete.
