Putting the BS in CBS: WTF? They scrubbed McShame's interviews twice?

[deminks]

Once for the splurge/awakening twist up.

Now, they have found ANOTHER scrub of his comment that Iraq was the first conflict after 911.

Update: DNC slams McCain for calling Iraq 'first' post-9/11 conflict

Keeping up with John McCain's foreign policy gaffes is becoming a cottage industry these days, and a progressive radio host has caught another slip-up from the Republican presidential nominee talking about the war on terror.

And keeping those flubs away from viewers is occupying plenty of network news editors' time.

Young Turks host Cenk Uygur noticed that his confusion about the timeline of the "surge" in Iraq wasn't McCain's only gaffe in his interview with CBS news this week. McCain seemed to forget the war in Afghanistan preceded the invasion of Iraq; either that or he didn't think it was a major conflict.

"The fact is we had four years of failed policy. ... We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure. The defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world," McCain told CBS anchor Katie Couric.

"Was Afghanistan not major enough for him?" Uygur asks.
