McCain's Gaffe Not a Gaffe
On February 28th at the Baker Institute for Public Policy in Houston, TX McCain stated the following: "But Al-Qaeda is there [Iraq], they are functioning, they are supported in many times, in many ways by the Iranians."

I believe that al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, has gained a foothold in Iraq since we barged in. I also believe that Iran, a predominantly Shi'ite country, passionately hates America. But are they really working together? So far I haven't heard anyone credible say so.
If they are, though, you heard it here first: America helped Sunnis and Shi'ites put aside their differences and finally work together towards a common goal. Great job, America.
