In debate, McCain misidentified Petraeus as Joint Chiefs chairman

[notbornyesterday]

During Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Nashville, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) made what could arguably be considered the most serious verbal gaffe to date by the McCain-Palin campaign when he misidentified Gen. David Petraeus as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In fact, Adm. Michael Mullen has held that position since Oct. 1, 2007. Petraeus recently concluded his 20-month tenure as commander of the Multi-National Forces - Iraq (MNF-I) and will become the next commander of U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) at the end of October. Petraeus has never been Joint Chiefs chairman.

Well, Jon Stewart said that the reason America went to war was to learn geography.
