Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who has built his campaign around his foreign policy experience, appeared to stumble in the midst of a high-profile overseas trip.

McCain, who had visited Iraq…earlier to talk with military commanders and Iraqi officials, spoke at an event in Amman, Jordan, where he expressed concern about Iranians “taking al Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back” to Iraq. But Iran and al Qaeda are associated with different branches of Islam. Iran is a mostly Shiite country and al Qaeda is primarily a Sunni militant group; Iran has been reported to help Shiite extremists in Iraq, but not their Sunni counterparts.

McCain was flanked by the two other members of his congressional delegation: Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who are both supporters and close friends. According to a report in the Washington Post, Lieberman later whispered into McCain’s ear, prompting McCain to correct himself: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al Qaeda.”

This is the 3rd time in the past few days this has happened. Are we learning something unexpected about John McCain?

    #79, Lyin’Mike,

    So where is your information that the “left” hates Bill Cosby. One religious person hardly represents a whole group or ideology.

    There is much to condone Cosby for.

    Read this

    And this

    A Dyson interview where he shows his bias.

    #80….Mister Catshit….this is the last time I ever answer you for any reason. As I said above, I’ve tried to actually debate you on issues and political beliefs for over a year and a half(under your present and past names), but all you have done is resort to really vile and nasty remarks about me and anyone who dosen’t believe the way you do.
    You and those like you (of both parties and beliefs) are why we have such a mess in this country. Why there is so much nastiness between those of differeing views. Anyone here could go back for the last 18 months and look at your posts, you have no desire to discuss issues or anything else…..you simply spew hatred at others….you should consider joining the Rev, Wright’s congregation. You probably are the most bitter and wretched person I have ever encountered. But please, don’t stop, because everytime you post one of your pieces of crap you turn another 2 or 3 people away from Liberalism.

    If you can’t see and read for yourself what Wright said that was hate filled, bigotted and racist….then no one will ever be able to explain it to you. As I said before….bigotry, by ANYONE is still bigotry!!!

    From now on, I will ignore you as if you don’t exist.

    #82, joshua,

    I’ve tried to actually debate you on issues and political beliefs for over a year and a half

    All I’ve seen from you is posting bullshit you can’t back up. Is that what you refer to as debating? When called on your bullshit you run crying that I don’t want to debate.

    You and those like you (of both parties and beliefs) are why we have such a mess in this country.

    If you say so. My belief is that the right wing nuts that think they have some “god given right” to steal, lie, and abuse Americans are the problem. This is exemplified by the current Republican leadership.

    you simply spew hatred at others….you should consider joining the Rev, Wright’s congregation. You probably are the most bitter and wretched person I have ever encountered

    Why? If Wright is filled with hatred, what has he preached that is wrong? I asked that earlier. Instead of debating the issue, your effen lazy ass thinks it is just fine to make the ad hominem attack on Wright and Obama as being bad for no specified reason. Just because the talking heads at FOX SPEWS say it is bad doesn’t mean it is. Well, unless you are as bigoted and anti Obama as FOX is.

    If you can’t see and read for yourself what Wright said that was hate filled, bigotted and racist….then no one will ever be able to explain it to you. As I said before….bigotry, by ANYONE is still bigotry!!!

    So denigrating someone without any other cause because they point out a true fact is bigotry? I would really like to see your justification for that line. Oh yes, I can read. The question is CAN YOU ??? You have shown no evidence that Wright is bigoted or any of his sermons were bigoted.

    From now on, I will ignore you as if you don’t exist.

    Waaaahh, waaaah, the cry baby’s feelings have been hurt because he has been caught lying again.
