During a CBS interview on Tuesday, John McCain made a stone cold error on a subject about which he claims expert knowledge: the "surge" strategy in Iraq. In an interview with anchor Katie Couric, the Arizona Republican said, inaccurately, that the surge strategy was responsible for the much-touted "Anbar Awakening," in which Sunni sheiks turned against Al Qaeda, helping in turn to reduce violence in the country. Note: Video of Olbermann exposing McCain and CBS.

  5. #5    Yeah - but Couric, or her Masters at CBS, cut it out...but STILL left it on their website!

    What a bunch of hamfisted Fascist apologist morons - Harlan Ellison and the late Hunter S. Thompson were right....
