The 23/6 John McCain Blunder-o-Tron

Don't give McCain any hints. He'll get it.

At today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, blunderin' John McCain made the latest in a series of mistakes on basic facts surrounding Iraq. It was just a few days ago on "Fox News Sunday" that he made yet another blunder on foreign policy. In that instance he claimed that Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr was the one responsible for declaring the ceasefire in Basra last week, but the facts tell a different story: It was actually brokered by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

One little mistake in your early 70s and you can chalk it up to a senior moment. However, this was the third time in the past month were he didn't get his facts straight. Joe Lieberman had to correct him when McCain stumbled during his Iraq trip in March. McCain said "Iran trains Al-Qaeda" members when he meant to say "Iran trains extremists".
