SUMMARY: While discussing whether Sen. John McCain is "smart to make national security the centerpiece of his campaign," Chris Matthews highlighted McCain's recent Middle East trip and said McCain was "showing off his foreign policy credentials." But at no point did Matthews, or any of his guests, point out that, during his trip, McCain made the admittedly false claim that "Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran."
