McCain’s Iraq victory speech interrupted by reports of violence in Iraq

While giving one of his standard “we’re winning in Iraq…I don’t care what you say” speeches today, Senator McCain was interrupted by MSNBC with some breaking news of violence from that country. Turns out Muqtada al-Sadr, whose cease-fire agreement was a major component to the declining violence, has decided he doesn’t want to play nice anymore, with forces loyal to him clashing with Iraqi forces in Southern Iraq, leading to at least 50 deaths and 120 wounded.

I can’t think of a more appropriate (although depressing) way to call McCain out on his BS.

3. I Heard about This Last Night

At least I had heard violence was errupting again and that it looked like the "cease-fire" was over. I didn't hear anything about al-Sadr...
