McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Sheunemann said McCain's answer was intentional.Someone should tap John on the shoulder and remind him that we're required to defend them militarily say if Portugal gets randy or there's the long feared Moroccan incursion. So it might be a good idea to touch base with one of our major European countries instead of throwing a snit fit for some indescribable reason. Also, Zapatero is Prime Minister. Maybe he's just holding a grudge because McCain fought a guy named Zapatero in the 1910 Mexican Revolution and thinks they're related. More likely, the McCain camp is just too proud to admit their candidate made a mistake, so they're going to press this Spain-snubbing to keep from copping to a gaffe.
"The questioner asked several times about Senator McCain's willingness to meet Zapatero (and id'd him in the question so there is no doubt Senator McCain knew exactly to whom the question referred). Senator McCain refused to commit to a White House meeting with President Zapatero in this interview," he said in an e-mail.
Cross another ally off the list.
