Sen. John McCain disagreed with Fox News hosts who said President Barack Obama’s announcement of the end of Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s reign over Libya was premature.
“He’s on his way out,” the Arizona Republican said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.” “We’ve got to concentrate on making sure there’s not the kind of Baghdad experience we had [after the liberation of Iraq]. We need reconciliation to get the arms depots under control . . . and get in there and help them set up a functioning government. That’s what we should be focusing on.”

Senile Dementia.
The Duck is a for real Bad guy,And who knows how many nasty “Toys” he is planing to use on the Dummy’s dancing in the streets?
McCain needs to just go away. Why is he still in the senate? Arizona needs to be punished for reelecting him.
McCain needs to be put into a straight jacket and shipped off to a secure location where the MSM is barred from entering.
Sit down Gramps!
McCain needs to find some sand to put his head in. He is a tired and confused old man and doesn’t realize that the lib media uses him.
McLame’s premature defense of Obama’s premature victory prance. When will ‘Lil Linsey come mincing along to defend McLame’s premature defense?

1.(C) CODEL McCain discussed security, counterterrorism, and civil-nuclear cooperation during August 14 meetings with Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhafi and his son, National Security Advisor Muatassim al-Qadhafi, stressing the need for Libya to fulfill its WMD-related commitments and to approve a Section 505 end-user agreement in order to move forward on bilateral military and civil-nuclear engagement. While Muatassim al-Qadhafi reiterated long-standing Libyan requests for security assurances from the United States and emphasized Libya's interest in the purchase of U.S. lethal and non-lethal military equipment, Muammar al-Qadhafi was notably silent on these subjects.

5.(C) Senator McCain assured Muatassim that the United States wanted to provide Libya with the equipment it needs for its TRIPOLI 00000677 002.2 OF 002 security. He stated that he understood Libya's requests regarding the rehabilitation of its eight C130s (ref D) and pledged to see what he could do to move things forward in Congress. He encouraged Muatassim to keep in mind the long-term perspective of bilateral security engagement and to remember that small obstacles will emerge from time to time that can be overcome. He described the bilateral military relationship as strong and pointed to Libyan officer training at U.S. Command, Staff, and War colleges as some of the best programs for Libyan military participation.
Senile Dementia Democratius
You’re Manchurian? I’m Manchurian, too!
Rimshot Joe Biden better be careful. McCain is after his job and wants to be Barry’s 2012 running mate.
After McLaim had egg on his face after Gaddafi’s son re-appeared then he started mumbling about this big cache of weapons that we MUST protect from grabbing hands...weapons of mass destruction even...
So if Gaddafi had all this cache of such dangerous weapons, how come he didn’t bring them out to save his country? Why didn’t he catch the rebels out in the back forty and blow them off the planet with those big old weapons?
McLame has to cover his and his girlfriend’s backsides given they already rushed to the cameras prematurely.
The GOP needs to give him the hook.
You would think he’d despise me, losing to a loser like that. I can’t stand the SOB as it is, sure wouldn’t like him any more if I had run against the phony bastard
