The Raw Story | Lieberman lends McCain an assist after gaffe in Jordan: "'...He said several times that Iran, a predominately Shiite country, was supplying the mostly Sunni militant group, al-Qaeda,' Cameron W. Barr and Michael D. Shear note. 'In fact, officials have said they believe Iran is helping Shiite extremists in Iraq.'
After McCain said it was 'common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran,' the post reports 'Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate's ear,' leading McCain to add: 'I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda...'"
