My point was, Wanderer, and as exemplified by Violin's post, McCain has a reputation as a hothead. Just something to consider when the phone rings at 2 a.m...

Thanks for the heads-up from 2000, Tilt. It's great to see that it didn't spread.

AMMAN, Jordan -- Sen. John McCain, traveling in the Middle East to promote his foreign policy expertise, misidentified in remarks Tuesday which broad category of Iraqi extremists are allegedly receiving support from Iran.

He said several times that Iran, a predominately Shiite country, was supplying the mostly Sunni militant group, al-Qaeda. In fact, officials have said they believe Iran is helping Shiite extremists in Iraq.

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."

Pressed to elaborate, McCain said it was "common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that's well known. And it's unfortunate." A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate's ear. McCain then said: "I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda."

The mistake threatened to undermine McCain's argument that his decades of foreign policy experience make him the natural choice to lead a country at war with terrorists.

See good Moderates accept nothing until the consensus blows that way.....for instance they see NOTHING wrong with this article.


Numerous laws passed by the Islamic Republic of Iran reflect the lack of equality between Muslims and non-Muslims, dictating that those who don't embrace Islam should be barred from top government and military jobs, admission to universities and so on, according to the Sun. Such principles are reinforced in the textbooks for schoolchildren which Paivandi examined.

"By taking note of the guidance and instructions provided by Islam, every Muslim youth must strike fear in the hearts of the enemies of God and their people through combat-readiness and skillful target shooting," one seventh-grade textbook says.

The books also dictate that women should not join the workforce, but instead must stay at home to raise children.

They are using the tactics of the 'War on Poverty', give them money and cheap cigs and wine and they won't be able to blow things up. It's working, but they'll say it's the surge, Yah, the surge in welfare payments.

XL - You appear to have missed the point (again). "Mr. Experience" doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shiite. He said that Shia Iran was training their historic enemies. This man isn't fit to be President.

OH for God's Sake...tell me one major positive direction they have (any of them) set.

Guys I wasn't happy about ANY of the choices in EITHER Primary. There is not one .LEADER in the bunch. I keep thinking McCain will spend most of his time trying to find the Locker Key to the Freezer to solve the frozen strawberry caper....

John is an angry old VNvet that thinks we should revenge that withdrawal and never ever let the word 'defeat' head the front page again. That position is understandible in his case , but has no place in the real world.

[W]hile the McCain campaign is backing away from the specific claims about Iranian training of Al Qaeda, it is asserting that Iran collaborates with Osama bin Laden's organization.

Mr. McCain's national security adviser, Randy Scheunemann, told The New York Sun, "There is ample documentation that Iran has provided many different forms of support to Sunni extremists, including Al Qaeda as well as Shi'ia extremists in Iraq. It would require a willing suspension of disbelief to deny Iran supports Al Qaeda in Iraq."

NEW YORK In an interview that will appear in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, "It's true that [John] McCain's campaign sought my endorsement."

McCain has attempted to distance himself from some of Hagee's views, much as Barack Obama is doing in relation to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But unlike McCain, Obama has not stood on stage with Wright and accepted his accolades this year.

McCain's going to run into trouble when he starts rambling in the middle of a speech or forgets his lines.

He's a pretty solid conservative for sure - his voting record is pretty clear. He's not Rush Limbaugh, but has got a firm conservative voting record.

Not sure Romney is the best choice though.
