For months, liberals have been making the widely debunked claim that John McCain has called for 100 years of war in Iraq, but now they may have a new trick up their sleeves. The current front page headline at Huffington Post reads, "McCain: We Have 'Something Approaching Normal' In Iraq." suggesting that McCain said things alre almost back to normal in Iraq. In reality, his speech this morning was much more qualified and forward looking than suggested by that headline: "The dramatic reduction in violence has opened the way for a return to something approaching normal political and economic life for the average Iraqi." It should be interesting to see whether the rest of the media picks up and perpetuates this distortion.
