John Amato:..If anyone wants to write a transcript for the second half of the interview---that would be great....Stewart and McCain got into a brawl in that segment...Do you think any of the talking heads would have this kind of debate with McCain?

Stewart tries to explain a few things to St. McCain about fighting a civil war:

"...but that assumes that we're fighting one enemy---they're fighting each other. We're not surrendering to an enemy that has defeated us. We're saying, how do you quell a civil war when it's not your country?"

McCain got very angry that Stewart called them out for using the " you're not supporting the troops," theme and was trying to filibuster the segment...He tried to use the troops as a wedge. Stewart got hot and fought back...McCain started to stutter. (rough transcript)
