It would be funny if not for the fact that for the last six years, Bush/Cheney used 9/11 to stoke the fears of the American people and justify the invasion and continued occupation of Iraq...
....and McCain continues to make some nebulous connection between continuing the occupation indefinetly in order to prevent further al Queda attacks on the homeland...despite the fact that he seems to confuse al Queda with the Shiite insurgency.
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."
