McCain Admits He Lied About General Petraeus

As if it was not enough that he already admitted this week that he misled the American people about the safety of Baghdad's markets, John McCain was forced to admit on 60 minutes today that he lied in a recent radio interview:

In a recent TV interview, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) criticized CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, saying he didn’t know what was going on in Iraq. As proof of progress, McCain claimed, “General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee." Tonight in a 60 Minutes interview, McCain acknowledged that statement was a lie. He said “there is no unarmored humvees. Obviously, that’s the case.” He excused himself, saying, “I’m trying to make the point over and over and over again that we are making progress.”
