Charlie Black Steps In It
Dan Spencer - Right Side Politics Examiner
Charlie Black sat down with Fortune Magazine and when asked if McCain would stand to benefit from a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Black stuck both of his feet in his mouth: The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an "unfortunate event," says Black. "But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us." As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him," says Black.Charlie Black knows a lot better. Black has apologized, saying he "deeply regrets" his comments:
"They were inappropriate," Black told reporters at a fund-raising event in California. "I recognize that John McCain has devoted his entire life to protecting his country."I bet he does. So does Senator McCain, saying he "cannot imagine" why Black would say something like that:
"It's not true," McCain said. "I've worked tirelessly since 9/11 to prevent another attack on the United States of America. My record is very clear."Charlie ought to, and I'm sure he does, know a lot better. Black needs to resign from the McCain campaign. NBC's Andrea Mitchell covers Black's hoof and mouth disease in the following video report:
McCain cited his work on the Senate Armed Services Committee and his role in creating the 9/11 Commission in describing his efforts to stop terrorist attacks on American soil.
"If he said that, and I do not know the context, I strenuously disagree," McCain said.
