McCain corrects himself on Iran
Mar. 19 - The presumptive Republican nominee for US president, Senator John McCain, was speaking in Amman, Jordan about the groups backing al Qaeda in Iraq.
With Senator Joe Lieberman at his side, McCain accused Iran of supporting the Sunni extremist group al Qaeda in Iraq.
U.S. officials believe Iran has been backing Shi'ite extremists in Iraq, not a Sunni group like al Qaeda.
After McCain's statement, Lieberman whispered in his ear and McCain quickly corrected himself.
"I'm sorry; the Iranians are training the extremists, not al Qaeda. Not al Qaeda. I'm sorry," McCain said.
