WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States should step up efforts to aid wounded Libyan rebels by deploying a hospital ship to treat them and helping them get to European medical facilities, US Senator John McCain said Monday.
"This is an urgent humanitarian need," McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement after Libya's transitional government and NATO inked a deal opening part of the country's airspace.
"I continue to urge the administration to take immediate steps, including the deployment of a US hospital ship to Libya or Malta and transporting wounded Libyans to US medical facilities in Europe, that help Libyans who have been wounded in this conflict receive the urgent care they need," said the senator.

Is he still around? I thought McCain passed years ago. Oh that was Ed Kennedy. Get these old, big gubermint guys mixed up.
Just send John over with a big box of Bandaids!
Gee just when I thought I couldn’t detest him anymore......
Sorry, McStooge, we’re too busy with Uganda right now.
john mccain bipartisanship alert.
McCain want to help wounded Libyans while he wants to take away help for our own Veterans.
Yes, by all means lets pay for all humanitarian expenses while the Europeans set up the oil derricks.
This POS sent an email to me today on behalf of Scott Brown (of course) and asking for donations to which I promptly replied:
“DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, call me Friend you old piece of crap. You threw the 08 election and why in the hell Arizonians keep voting for you is beyond comprehension.
TAKE ME OFF YOUR EMAIL LIST”
To which it was promptly returned with ‘mailer failure’.
*sigh*
what a dumb ass ....to hell with our veterans but save the poor libyans
I simply don’t understand that guy.
I can’t believe I voted for this fool. I tell you if it was not for Obama, I would say “Thank God he did not become President”......he would be a tad bit better than Obama but not much. This is the most disgusting crap that I have heard. We could have bombed the place and be done........we should have done the same in Afghanistan and Iraq too......Republicans are so damn weak.
FUjm and all of your muzzie buddies! Obama signed 4563 IRANIAN visas for permanent residence this year under diversity immigration law. We are goners unless something stops this madness... 4563 possible enemy agents from a nation that we are in an undeclared war with.
LLS
“”To which it was promptly returned with ‘mailer failure’.””
They can get email through to you but your reply can’t get through? That’s cute! I did read a few days ago that none of the websites of congress critters are accepting emails - that there’s a clearing place for all constituent mail. I haven’t tried sending one yet!
Postal mail can’t get through to them for days/weeks either so I guess that leaves the telephone.
Love your response to him even if his office didn’t receive it. They might just decide to “end it all” (we should be so lucky) if they were to find out we don’t hold them in as high esteem as they do themselves! Jerks, the lot of them.
This man must be completely senile, yesterday we read that he wants to cut OUR military benefits but now he wants to aid wounded Libyan rebels??????????? What is wrong with this country???
Got one too, go to the bottom of the email, there is an "unsubscribe", which I prompty did!
“Jerks, the lot of them.”
Amen to that FRiend (and thank you for the compliment)
