| Even the NYT says McCain is wrong on this one. IMO McCain diminishes himself with deliberately misleading allegations like this. Maybe others react differently but I expect more honorable behavior from someone running on his status as a war hero. How long until this campaign is over?? |
Afterward, talking to reporters, McCain said, "If we surrender and wave a white flag, like Sen. Clinton wants to do, and withdraw, as Gov. Romney wanted to do, then there will be chaos, genocide and the cost of American blood and treasure would be dramatically higher."
Asked about the statement at a Land O' Lakes campaign stop, Romney responded, "That's simply dishonest, and he should apologize. That's dishonest, to say that I have a specific date. That's simply wrong. I know he's trying desperately to change the topic from the economy and trying to get back to Iraq, but to say something that's not accurate is simply wrong — and he knows better."
