More: Coburn at one point in the campaign reportedly said the war in Iraq was "absolutely not" a mistake.

Vice President Dick Cheney, a vocal defender of the war, came to Tulsa to cam paign and raise money for Coburn.

During that visit, Cheney criticized Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry for flip-flopping on the war by voting in the Senate to go to war but voting against adequate funding for the troops.

Still, his comments at the town hall meeting may be the first time he has ever suggested the war was a mistake.

Coburn's comment came less than a week after he returned from his second trip to Iraq since entering the Senate.

Probably?

Jeebus!
