McCain Gaffe: "Common Knowledge" That Iran Is Training Al-Qaida

Washington Post Cameron W. Barr and Michael D. Shear March 18, 2008 at

Sen. John McCain is taking this week to travel the Middle East (as well as stop of in London for a fundraiser). Today in Jordan, he falsely claimed that the predominantly Sunni terrorist organization Al-Qaida was receiving training from predominantly Shia Iran:

Speaking to reporters in Amman, the Jordanian capital, McCain said he and two Senate colleagues traveling with him continue to be concerned about Iranian operatives "taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back."

LOL.
Poor rethugs.
I really do feel sorry for you, sometimes.

What this shows is that many Republicans don't differentiate between--or just don't know the difference between--Iraqi insurgents and al Qaeda. In McCain's case, it may be senile dementia.

Very scary nonetheless.

He's so lucky that Obama gave his speech today. This is not getting very much press.

Don't worry, Bush will soon come out to tell us all the value of being undercorrect (the opposite of overcorrect). Hahaha! Comedy gold, thanks Bush (yes, he really demonized 'overcorrectness').

Be more incorrect! Incorrect = good! I = incorrect, therefore incorrect = good!

Apparently, some Americans think a person who is about to die is the best person to represent the United States. I'm sure all these 'Republican' America-lovers want our executive branch (the branch responsible for the military), to be represented by someone on their death-bed.

This just reaffirms what I already know, that McCain doesn't understand who we're fighting against. He doesn't get that Shi'ite extremists and Sunni extremists hate each others guts about as much as they both hate us.

Exactly. And if McCain doesn't understand that key concept, and have knowledge of how those differences factor into international relations, then he is clearly not qualified to be president. He said he didn't understand economics. Now it's clear he doesn't understand world history, current events, geography, or foreign affairs, either. Perhaps an easier question for the McCain supporters to answer would be this: What does John McCain understand?

Thank god Holy Joe is his right hand man. No...wait. That's even worse if Holy Joe has a grasp on foreign affairs that's better than McInsane's.
