The world according to McCain: Georgia is "the first, probably, serious crisis internationally since the end of the cold war"

HUH??? For someone who claims that foreign policy is his strong suit, John McCain gets some very basic facts very wrong.

Last month, John McCain decided to ignore the war in Afghanistan when he claimed that Iraq "the first major conflict since 9/11."

This month, John McCain decided to ignore Afghanistan, Iraq, 9/11 and a host of other major crises. See foreign policy expert John McCain, who spent the last week pretending he's the president and single-handedly in charge of the situation in Georgia, thinks that situation in Georgia is the first serious international crisis since the Cold War ended. Wow. He's more out of touch than we thought. Again, for Georgia to be the first, serious international crisis, McCain is overlooking, among other things, the fact the United States is currently engaged in two wars.

How are McCain's friends in the traditional media going to explain away this latest major gaffe?
