A McCain Gaffe in Jordan

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 "

"If foreign policy is supposed to be the area in which McCain is an expert, I’m terrified of what he might do to the economy."

The point is millions of people know that iranians back Sadr and the extrem shiites , millions of people world wide know that alqaeda kill shiite , millions of people world wide know that iran help shiite and not alqaeda and sunnis , except you and your candidate mccain.

I think if i ask my little nephew ,he might know the correct answer.

Soon,We might have another simpleton in DC .

Muslim Arab = terrorist. Easy math.

War > diplomacy

White house + BHO = Black house (bad)

Just like your boy BHO was looking forward to meeting with the president of Canada.

"We all misspeak from time to time and I immediately corrected it. Just as Sen. Obama said he was looking forward to meeting the president of Canada, we all misspeak from time to time," McCain told reporters in London.

"So we'll just move on," the presumptive Republican nominee said after talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown at his Downing St. residence.

Obama said last August he would call "the president of Canada" about a trade deal. Canada has a prime minister but no president.

Good Try

McCain’s initial assertion about Iran training al Qaeda was false, his claim that he “corrected it immediately” is also false. In fact, McCain made the claim at least three times on two separate occasions. He corrected himself only after the third utterance when Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) whispered in his ear.

Misspoke ...hahahaha

How can you mix shiite and sunnis , and alqaeda being friend with iran , that was 3 mistakes in the same meeting.

Give me a break ...lol

He corrected himself , after the third meeting , and it was nice to know that he didn't know much about the key players in the area , just read the papers and you will know who is who.

My only job is to counter the constant McCain bashing. Honestly it is pretty sick how the man gets bashed in here.

**Wozer** · 03-22-2008, 05:54 PM

I'll have to agree with you....just because he's a republican is no cause to single him out...

racist...

you ever heard of the Tuskegee airmen???

they were black fighter pilots in WWII (you know, the war where America yet again saved your butts)...of course even getting to the front lines was a trial because of such racism...they ended up finally as bomber support...they did their job flawlessly...and I do mean flawless...

while casualties among their squadron were high, the casualties to the bombers were nil...compare that record to the white boys performance and a big story is told...

Black?

what you need is a black eye....or two..

What I wrote was a parody of what appears to be McCain's misunderstanding of the situation.

I don't think I've ever met someone who would actually say that all Muslim Arabs were terrorists. But lots of people (and governments) show this thinking in their actions.

For the record I respect most Muslims, I don't have an issue with Arabs, I don't think war is greater than diplomacy, and I have no problems with black people. Even if I did, I doubt that BHO as president would instantly redress the black: white balance of power.

But as for America saving our butts...
