McCain forgets the War In Afghanistan was the first war against al-Qaeda.

In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, the presumptive Republican nominee was asked about Democrat Barack Obama's argument that the money spent on sending 30,000 additional US troops to Iraq last year might have been better spent in Afghanistan, where the Taliban is strengthened and where al Qaeda is reconstituting.

"The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure and defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world," McCain replied.
