McCain defends Napolitano, insists 9/11 perpetrators came from Canada
Last Updated: Friday, April 24, 2009 | 6:04 PM ET Comments1029Recommend345The Canadian Press
Arizona Senator John McCain, seen with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in January, told Fox News on Friday that some of the 9/11 hijackers did come through Canada. (Kevin Wolf/Associated Press)Arizona Senator John McCain is the latest high-profile politician to repeat the diehard American falsehood that the Sept. 11, 2001, attackers entered the United States through Canada.

Just days after Janet Napolitano, the U.S. homeland security secretary, sparked a diplomatic kerfuffle by suggesting the perpetrators took a Canadian route to the U.S. eight years ago, McCain defended her by saying that, in fact, the former Arizona governor was correct.

"Well, some of the 9/11 hijackers did come through Canada, as you know," McCain, last year's Republican presidential candidate, said on Fox News on Friday.

The Arizona senator's remarks prompted the Canadian embassy to immediately reissue remarks made Tuesday by Ambassador Michael Wilson, who reminded Americans once again that none of the attackers came to the U.S. via Canada.

"Unfortunately, misconceptions arise on something as fundamental as where the 9/11 terrorists came from," Wilson said.

"As the 9/11 Commission reported in July 2004, all of the 9/11 terrorists arrived in the U.S. from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued to them by the U.S. government. No 9/11 terrorists came from Canada."

Canadian embassy officials were also in touch with McCain's office to set the record straight. McCain recently visited the Canadian Embassy and had lunch with Wilson.

What a dumbass thing to say. He needs to apologize. And he also needs to quit getting his information from the Obama Administration.

They went too far to the left, which is exactly why I'm not a Republican. Then you've got people like Meghan McCain trying to push it even further left. :roll:

We are having a provincial election up here now, in my riding the choices are Liberal, NDP, and Green. Kinda like trying to decide whether to cut your leg off just below the knee or just above it. Fortunately there is an independant running who has been in agriculture all his life and seems like a pretty good stick.

McCain hasn't changed any, and it seems he use to be your pick, well that was until the Kool-Aid flavor changed and you had to change your choice with the rest of the sheep! :wink:

Lets see, you were once a Bush supporter, once you was a McCain supporter, how long before you give up on Obama?

Heck I bet you voted for Jimmy Carter also, :lol:
