Media Matters: McCain's Declaration, 'We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives.'

Last night Senator John McCain made an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. After breaking the shocking news that he intended to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2008 he went on to point out America's frustration with the war in Iraq and what he believes has been wasted:
"We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure [in Iraq ], which is American lives."
Media Matters questions whether Sen. John McCain will receive the same media attention as Sen. Barack Obama did earlier last month.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) made similar comments in Iowa on February 11, the Post and the Los Angeles Times reported the remarks the following day. The New York Times, meanwhile, devoted a February 13 article to Obama's subsequent apology and clarification.
