Russert failed to challenge McCain claims on Lieberman, Gulf War, McCain's plan for Iraq
January 22, 2007 6:08 pm ET
SUMMARY: Tim Russert did not challenge
Sen. John McCain's dubious claim that it is not "clear-cut"
that the war is unpopular nationally because, if it were, Sen. Joe Lieberman
"would not have been re-elected in the state of Connecticut."
McCain also falsely claimed that "[a]t the time of the first Gulf War,
only 15 percent of the American people thought we ought to go to Kuwait
and get rid of Saddam Hussein there" and was not challenged by Russert
about his changing positions on the number of additional troops he would like
to see sent to Iraq.
