Drudge has been very irresponsible by running BBC's reduced version of the Visao interview. He should have just run the NME (New Music Express) version which doesn't have ANY pro-war comments:

MACCA SPEAKS OUT OVER WAR IN IRAQ

PAUL McCARTNEY has spoken out about the war in Iraq.

The Beatles star is reported to have said that the UK government went in "too fast" when Iraq was invaded last year.

According to BBC news, he said: "Maybe our government went in too fast with the Americans. It would have been better if the UN had been together. Now it's become very bloody with Iraq, it's very difficult."

The singer is to headline this year’s Glastonbury Festival on a tour that also visits the Rock In Rio: Lisbon festival this weekend.

If Paul is paying attention to the global press, he should bitchslap them for taking his comments out of context to such an extreme.

I agree, the news articles and headlines make it sound so much worse. Paul ain't no bleeding peacenik!
