has McCain lost his mind?

I don't know what slant the above linked site may have, but the interview was just on CNN with Blitzer. McCain tells Blitzer he needs to get up to speed on the fact that some neighborhoods in Baghdad are now safe enough for Americans to walk around in without security. CNN correspondent on the ground and talking to the military promptly dismisses and derides the claim.

What in the world is McCain thinking?? I sort of thought McCain had some sense of trying to create and stake out the position of pro-Iraq war + some sense of reality and honesty. Looks like that's over. Has he just lost it?
