BLUNDER BOY McCAIN DOES IT AGAIN

(h/t Atrios)

Cenk Uygur catches another McCain goof in the interview with Couric:

Couric: Sen. Obama also told me, Sen. McCain, that the money spent on those additional troops, on the surge, might have been more effective had it gone to Afghanistan or even to a better energy policy in the United States. What's your response?

McCain: The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure and defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world.

In the neo-con worldview, Afghanistan really was just a sideshow in their nightmare circus of world empire.
