McCain Lies, Says Reagan Didn't Negotiate With Iran

“Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is Neville Chamberlain,'’ Mr. McCain told reporters on his campaign bus after a speech in Columbus, Ohio. “I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.'’

Um there is a problem with this statement. A big problem. Remember the Iran Contra affair? The trading of arms for hostages? Correct me if I am wrong, usually when there is a trade involved, discussion precedes that!

What makes matters even worse, John McCain was in Congress in the 1980's, so his words above are either a lie, or another senior moment. Seems to me he has had a lot of them in the last month!
