John McCain doesn’t need to know the difference between Sunni and Shiite groups because he has been to Iraq? at least that seems to be his latest spin on his recent gaffes regarding the two sects of Islam.
Sen. John McCain, defending his recent troubles differentiating between the two major branches of Islam, suggested today that the terror network al-Qaeda encompasses both Sunni and Shi’a.
When asked today by a Fox News host about recent gaffes in which he confused Sunnis and Shiites, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee smiled, shook his head and replied, “I’ve been to Iraq eight times, I know the leaders, I know the situation on the ground, I know that Sunni and al-Qaeda are closely tied… The question I was asking and the question that needs to be answered is, How widespread is al-Qaeda’s influence in the region as well as in Iraq?
This is the same John McCain that last year said the markets in Iraq were safe, as he strolled through wearing a bullet proof vest, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers and a helicopter escort. I doubt this man knows what he had for breakfast this morning much less what is going on in Iraq. Every time this man talks I wonder why Hillary thinks he should be president.
