U.S. Senator John McCain said in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday he misspoke in his recent upbeat comments about security in Baghdad, where he traveled under heavy military protection, as Reuters reports.
The Arizona senator, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, maintains progress has been made in the U.S.-led war in Iraq, according to comments to be aired on CBS' "60 Minutes."
McCain said he regrets comments he made after a tour of Baghdad last Sunday, when he said he could see progress and the American people were not being told the "good news" about the war, according to excerpts of his comments and a press release provided by "60 Minutes."

I voted for John McCain in 2004. I now realize I owe the whole world an apology for that error. I am now looking for the Arizona Recall Petition to sign.

The wheels have fallen off the Straight Talk Express. It's painful to watch McCain flip-flopping around like a fish out of water. I am also one of the many Arizonans waiting in eager anticipation for the Arizona Recall Petition.

Its a shame. This administration has ruined a lot of good people. At one time John McCain was a man to be admired. Now he is just another Bushite that knows how to do nothing but lie to the American people and then cry "I misspoke". It doesn't work anymore Mr. McCain.
