A committee appointed by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki exonerated the general. An internal U.S. Army report similarly concluded that there...

Distorting McCain’s remarks at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, Obama declared, “John McCain wants to continue a war in Iraq perhaps as long as 100 years,” which the non-partisan watchdog, Factcheck.org, says is a “rank falsehood.” Taking a cheap shot at his opponent’s age, the Illinois Democrat recently accused McCain of “losing his bearings.” And it’s only...
