McCain: The Libyan rebels are “my heroes”
Hot Air ^ | April 21, 2011 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Never mind that there are known jihadists among them, allegations of “death squads on both sides,” and evidence of rebels committing atrocities against the enemy. And never mind that NATO’s sufficiently concerned about their intentions to have warned them that they’ll be bombed too if they attack civilian Qaddafi loyalists. “Heroes.” I get why McCain would want to boost morale for America’s newest ally; what I don’t get, given the likelihood of brutality and recriminations in post-Qaddafi Libya, is why he’d do that with rhetoric so rosy that’s it guaranteed to be thrown back in his face later when some prominent rebel does something nutty.

Ah well. Say this for Maverick: As we learned a few years ago with Russia and Georgia, when he’s on your side, he’s on your side all the way.

G-d Bless McCain and all he did during Vietnam and his captivity. OTOH I think he’s been shot off his carrier too many times. Is this man serious?

McCain has been a twisted sickie ever since he left Hanoi. He literally doesn't know which side he is on in any given conflict. This is a result of his experience when tortured into submitting to the NVA. He should have been peremptorily retired on disability upon the revelation of his record.

He should be removed and retired from office, now.

McCain is Mr. Gullible.

Remember his trip to Alaska with Miss Nancy? Came back convinced that "global warming is real".

McCain is living proof that Washington politicians need to spend more time in the real world. They're unable to distinguish fact from fancy.

Screw him.

For his sake I hope McCain is long out of politics
before he has to eat those words. The flavor just
might remind him of the garbage he was fed while
lodged in Hanoi.

Unfortunately, I think it's worse than that...

Here I though all of Juan McAmnesty’s “heroes” would be stinking of tequila and hanging out front of a Home Depot...
