McCain Camp's Side On His "Today" Iraq Comment
McCain supporters hold conference call to denounce Democratic attacks on McCain's remark about U.S. troops in Iraq.
MCCAIN CAMP'S SIDE: Supporters say what was "not too important" was McCain's estimate of when troops will come home-- not the fact they come home at all.
Sen. Thune: "This clearly is a deliberate distortion that is trying to change the subject. The Democrats are trying to blow this up as an issue because they don't want to talk about the success of the surge."
Sen. Lieberman: "This is exactly the kind of partisan political game the American people are sick and tired of."
Spokesman Rogers: "Any reasonable person who reads the full transcript would... reject the Obama campaign's attempt to manipulate, twist and distort the truth." Read full statement.
