Disgraced General David Petraeus should go back to Iraq to help curb turmoil engulfing country, according to Senator John McCain.
'I would suggest perhaps sending David Petraeus and Ambassador [Ryan] Crocker back over [to Iraq],' McCain said to CNN anchor Candy Crowley.
'(Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri) Al-Maliki trusts them.'

McCain also said he believed Iraq 'is not a lost cause' and that the United States may be able to offer logistical support.
John McCain called former Defense Secretary Robert Gates 'obviously very frustrated' and criticized the release of Gates' new book as part of a series of remarks on foreign policy on Sunday.
McCain (R-AZ) made the remarks as part of an interview with Candy Crowley on
CNN's 'State of the Union' on Sunday.
In the interview he said that he would send backAmbassador [Ryan] Crocker to Iraq. He also said that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates 'was obviously very frustrated' and criticized the release of Gates' new book
McCain said that if he were Gates, he would have waited to release the book, 'Duty: Memoirs of Secretary at War,' which is said to include sharp criticism of President Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan.
'I think, frankly, I might've -- if I had given him advice -- I would've waited,' McCain said.
'As far as waiting until it's over in Afghanistan, I wouldn't have done that. But maybe [in] retrospect, a little longer than now.'
'He's obviously very frustrated and felt -- which by the way surprised all of us who know him -- and he's decided to really kind of let loose.'
McCain however, described Gates as 'one of the finest public servants I have known.'
In the book Gates has strongly criticized President Obama's passion for the nation's military - contrasting his attitude strongly with that of his predecessor President George W. Bush.
In his forthcoming memoir Gates claims that he never once saw Obama become emotional during a Medal Of Honor ceremony - claiming that his coldness was in stark contrast with Bush, who would regularly 'well up'.
Declaring himself to be 'disturbed' by this 'absence of passion', Gates goes onto say that the only time he saw his commander-in-chief become animated during his time in the administration was during Obama's push to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell.'
