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...
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."
Those extremists are most likely Badr Corps and Mahdi Army militia members, both of these militias have representatives sitting in the Iraqi parliament indeed, in the Iraqi cabinet itself and Mr. Maliki himself owes SCIRI (Badr Corps) his position as Prime Minister.
Now, Mr. McSame, who are the bad guys exactly? And how does Iran figure into the equation? That's right, we handed them the country and they are damned sure going to defend their new found territory. Especially against the 80,000 Sunni's we just bought and paid for with guns and tax payer money.
It's going to be bloody...
