"Breaking News" Knocks Off Rose-colored Glasses

From Think Progress comes a video from MSNBC of McCain speaking at the VFW National Headquarters in Kansas City, MO, about how wonderfully successful the surge has been in turning things around in Iraq and being interrupted by "breaking News" that seems to contradict his rosy interpretation of the situation there. Of course, I could be wrong.

Oh, please watch.

  1. This is the guy who said he could walk freely about Baghdad - turned out to be one market, wearing a vest, with dozens of guards and a helicopter gunship.
    I also love the way this bunch characterizes any Iraqi who opposes American occupation of their country as 'extremists' or 'al Quaida'.
    He is as scary as Cheney.
