McCain Doesn’t Even Know Who We Are Fighting Against

John McCain says he knows about the Iraq war and Obama does not. McCain says he is the best judge of what we should or should not do in the middle east and Obama is not. Then check this out and tell me you want John McCain to make decisions about the Middle East.

Anyway, McCain, was holding a press conference in Amman, Jordan, with his potential veeps by his side. Everything was going just hunky dory until McCain said this: “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. That’s well known and it’s unfortunate.”

Oops. (The Raw Story has the video.)

Then Holy Joe leans over after an uncomfortable silence and whispers in St. John’s ear that it is Shiite insurgents who are going in and out of Iran, not al-Qaeda (whose fighters are Sunni and sworn enemies of the Iranians.) McCain turned four shades of red and coughed and sputtered into the microphone: “I’m sorry; the Iranians are training the extremists, not al Qaeda. Not al Qaeda. I’m sorry,”

John McCain doesn’t even know who we are fighting against, let alone what to do about it. Just because you fought in a previous war as a soldier does not mean you are ready to be Commander in Chief. John McCain was not a general. He has never led a war. So he has no more experience at running a war than you or I.
