He must have forgotten to take the blue pill again. ;-)

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he was “surprised” by violent clashes between central Iraqi government and militias connected to Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr last week in the southern Iraqi city of Basra. “Maliki decided to take on this operation without consulting the Americans,” McCain told reporters on his campaign bus.
As MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann noted last night, at the same time McCain expressed surprise about the developments in Basra, he also got basic facts wrong about the ceasefire that halted the violence on Sunday. McCain claimed that “it was Sadr who asked for the ceasefire,” not Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malki:
Asked if the Basra campaign had backfired, he said: “Apparently it was Sadr who asked for the ceasefire, declared a ceasefire. It wasn’t Maliki. Very rarely do I see the winning side declare a ceasefire. So we’ll see.’’

First old man McCain doesn't know the difference between the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. Now he confuses Al Sadr with Maliki. I love this guy does he know who he is and where he's at without being told.
Now the US Media can't report it but BBC reported Iran stepped in to settle this fight. Looks out the White House is on the outside looking in. But still taxpayers are giving Iraq 12 Billion dollars a month. We have money to burn we're so rich. Don't forget to get your rebate check not you'll get your ration card and have to stand in line for government cheese, bread and milk.
