McSame Stands by Iraq Doublespeak

I won’t call this a gaffe any longer. He’s no better than Bush and Cheney, standing by his lie to try and convince enough people that he’s actually not lying.

In politics, as in life, when one is in a hole, he or she should stop digging. This advice was not heeded by John McCain’s campaign today. Both the Senator and his aides sought to brush away his factually inaccurate statement that American troops in Iraq were down to pre-surge levels. In the process, they made the hole even bigger.

Reminded that troops in Iraq currently number 155,000, well above the pre-surge level of 130,000, McCain refused to acknowledge on Friday that he had misspoke.

“I said we had drawn down,” the Senator declared during a press conference (watch video). “I said we have drawn down and we have drawn down three of the five brigades. We have drawn down three of the five brigades. We have drawn down the marines. The rest will be home the end of July. That’s just facts, the facts as I stated them.”

But that isn’t what he stated. On Thursday, in fact, he made a very specific measurement as to the extent of troop reductions.

“I can tell you that it [the mission in Iraq] is succeeding,” said McCain. “I can look you in the eye and tell you it’s succeeding. We have drawn down to pre-surge levels.”

It’s been repeatedly shown that McCain has no clue what he’s talking about when it comes to foreign policy. He’s simply ignorant of the facts or a bold face liar. And while McCain obsesses over his misguided foreign policy, he completely neglects our domestic issues. It’s too bad only 1.6 million people have watched this video.

and with the FACTS.

McCain’s lies are not just an insult to Democrats, but they’re an insult to all voters, especially those in serving us in the military.
