McCain last week accused his opponent Mitt Romney of supporting timetables for withdrawal from Iraq earlier this year.
McCain compared Romney to the Democrats, saying, “If we surrender and wave a white flag,
as Governor Romney wanted to do, then there will be chaos, genocide, and the cost of American blood
McCain pulled out the accusation again
unequivocably, absolutely no. I have never, ever supported a specific timetable for exit from Iraq. And it's offensive to me that someone would suggest that I have.
everyone from Time magazine to Bill Bennett
to actually CNN's own analysts
said it was a lie and it's absolutely wrong.
I do not support that, never have.
The quote -- and Sen. McCain’s argument attached to it -- don’t connect. Romney was speaking of one thing and McCain wanted it to be something else, so he simply ignored what Romney said and kept arguing.
McCain’s credibility is already low
How can he repair it by making false charges such as this?
