Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
And this guy wants to be president?

Interviewed during his current Iraq excursion....

Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain is getting another boost to his national security image with his eighth trip to Iraq but any more flubs like today and he may end up wishing he stayed home. In a news conference, McCain said he was concerned about Iran's influence in the middle easy and asserted that "al Qaeda is going back into Iran and is receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran." Sen. Joe Lieberman, who accompanied McCain whispered in his ear and McCain quickly corrected himself. " I'm sorry," he said, " the Iranians are training the extremists, not al -Qaeda."

Later in the article he was quote thusly....

McCain: "Well, it’s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and is receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran. That’s well known and it’s unfortunate. So I believe that we are succeeding in Iraq - the situation has dramatically improved, but I also want to emphasize time and again Al Qaeda is on the run, but they are not defeated. We are seeing a major battle take place in Mosul as we speak. The southern part of Iraq has other difficulties as we well know. So I am pleased with the progress, we have a long way to go, and I am deeply concerned about Iranian influence, not only in Iraq, but on nuclear weapons; on sponsorship of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations, and if we leave Iraq it will enhance Iranian influence in the region to the detriment, I think, of every nation in the region."

(then Lieberman whispered in his ear)

McCain: "I’m sorry; the Iranians are training the extremists, not Al Qaeda. Not Al Qaeda. I’m sorry."
