WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain called Moammar Khadafy "insane" today as he reaffirmed his call for a US-backed no-fly zone over Libya to prevent its embattled leader from using aircraft to slaughter its citizens. During an interview on ABC News' "This Week," McCain told Christiane Amanpour that the US cannot "risk allowing Gadhafi to massacre people from the air, both by helicopter and fixed-wing [aircraft]." McCain (R-Ariz.) furthered reiterated his support for imposing a no-fly zone, saying Ghadafi's air assets were "not overwhelming." "Let's just call a spade a spade. A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya to...

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., reiterated his call for a U.S.-backed no-fly zone over Libya this morning and called Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi "insane."

(snip) "We are spending over $500 billion dollars, not counting Iraq and Afghanistan, on our nation's defense. Don't tell me we can't do a no fly zone over Tripoli," the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services said at the Atlantic Council Tuesday evening. "I love the military, I love it, it's been my life, but they always seem to find reasons why you can't do something rather than why you can," Sen. McCain said. (snip) On Libyan leader Qaddafi, McCain said, "This guy's days are numbered. The question is -- is can we shorten those number of days to...

Exile is one option for Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday. When asked if the United States would consider military aid to help topple the regime, Carney said “all options remain on the table.” President Barack Obama was meeting with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at the White House on Monday to discuss sanctions and other potential actions against the Gadhafi government. Gadhafi has ordered the toughest crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators of any Middle Eastern leader whose rule is threatened by anti-government uprisings. The regime’s violent response prompted the United States, Britain and...

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that China could be one of the next countries caught up in the wave of Middle East pro-democracy protest fervor. "I'm not sure that these winds of change are going to be confined to blowing just in the Arab world and the Magrhreb," McCain said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "To wit, what's happening in China and other countries around the world," he said. "I think it's going to happen all over the world."

Senators Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and John McCain, R-Ariz., both expressed disappointment Sunday that President Obama has not responded more forcefully against the violence spreading in Libya and called for the arming of rebel forces in that country. (snip) Lieberman stopped short of calling for direct American military involvement, but McCain did not rule it out. "I think there possibly could be," the Arizona Republican said of using military force, though he hastily added that Libyan pilots are sure to obey a no-fly zone.

Terrorists can breathe easily in our brave new world. Fatties, watch it. This is war.

Imagine my surprise when I opened an email ad from Amazon.com and found that Edip Yuksel, a Muslim who is a leading Islamic reformer, had written a book, Peacemaker's Guide to Warmongers: Exposing Robert Spencer, David Horowitz, and other Enemies of Peace. He made my day. Bill Warner was included in the product description as an enemy of peace. I am flattered. Why does Mr. Yuksel call me an enemy of peace and a warmonger? It's simple. Partnered with Robert Spencer, I debated him in Frontpage Magazine Symposiums (here and here) and beat him like a drum using the doctrine...

President Obama is pursuing a dangerous and reckless course of action in Pakistan hoping to get a lucky kill on a top level terrorist that he can turn into political domestic advantage. While the Obama administration is complaining about the Bush administration giving a few admitted terrorists some pain, his reckless policy of escalating drone attacks in Pakistan has falsely claimed to have killed many terrorists but instead has only inflamed the Pakistani population against the U.S. Ironically his decisions may put him at risk of being labeled a war criminal by the international community. Some time ago I was...

Warmonger Powell Hurts Obama John McCain’s “friend”, Colin Powell, gave his buddy one last parting gift, maybe without even realizing it, when he announced his support of Barack Obama on Sunday. How, you might ask? Simple. Just do a search on your search engine of choice for Warmonger Colin Powell. I performed this task and came up with over 45,000 instances. Go ahead and read some of the articles there and you’ll find that, in spite of the usual liberal media spin, celebrating this as some sort of validation and victory for Obama, this endorsement is not a good thing...

We wrote here about left-wing radio host Ed Schultz, who denounced John McCain as "a warmonger" in the course of introducing Barack Obama at North Dakota's State Democratic Convention Friday evening. Now, CNN has compounded the offense by inviting Schultz on the air to explain why he thinks McCain is a "warmonger." The network gave Schultz more than four minutes on-air to amplify his smear, without inviting anyone from McCain's camp to participate or respond. Unbelievable. You can watch it here.

Facing an uphill battle in the November elections, Republicans need to nominate a presidential candidate who represents the best traditions of the Grand Old Party: fiscal responsibility, devotion to national security and honest conduct of the nation's business. Republican voters should consider themselves lucky. They have two candidates highly qualified to occupy the Oval Office: John McCain and Mitt Romney, two principled political figures who could chart a new course for our country and lead it forward with honor. In a close call, our endorsement goes to McCain, a war hero, experienced player in the U.S. Senate and Washington politics,...

John McCain is neither the inevitable Republican Nominee nor as electable as current polling data suggests for three reasons 1) the mainstream media will turn their backs on McCain as soon as he is the nominee, 2) so-called independents and moderates will not show up as strongly for McCain in the general election as in the primary, 3) McCain cannot unify the party because many important conservatives will not rally around him, and 4) McCain-Feingold will literally seal his fate because conservatives will not outlay cash in the general election for McCain. The mainstream media will turn against Senator McCain...

New York, NY (AHN) - Conservative Pat Buchanan during an on-air interview said that a war with Iran would be in the near future should Republican candidate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) be elected president in 2008. The comment came during an interview with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough about a recent comment McCain made saying more wars were inevitable. "You get John McCain in the White House, and I do believe we will be at war with Iran," Buchanan said. The comment was based on McCain's statements made Sunday to a crowd of supporters. "There's going to be other wars," the Huffington...

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush spent the weekend in Washington where they attended the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner last night. The Washington Post described the President's appearance this way: The evening took a turn toward the somber when the President took the stage. After a videotaped message from David Letterman ("Top 10 George W. Bush Moments"), he said, "In light of this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech I've decided not to be funny." And with that he handed the lectern over to Rich Little. "I'm not here to make any political points," the veteran...

Since it is said mentioning how Senator Kerry voted on defense issues is questioning his patriotism. The of course the Democrats are accusing Pubs of doing what they have been doing for months. The latest chicken hawk comments add to the calls of lied us into war even though Clinton bombed Iraq over WMD's. Sent our soldiers to die in Iraq for oil, war profiteering with Halliburton, concocting a war in Texas, being AWOL. Shredding the constitution, killing innocent Iraqis and Afghans. They are calling Bush and all who support Bush as enemies of America and questioning our Patriotism. I...

<p>A new study at the University of Missouri suggests that watching television's "The West Wing" gives people a more positive opinion of George Bush.</p> <p>And of Bill Clinton, for that matter, and of the American presidency in general.</p> <p>I'm not sure what all that means, but one thing seems obvious. In regard to Mr. Bush, I need to watch a lot of "The West Wing." I need to sit down and watch the re-runs this summer, hope there's "The Making of The West Wing" on DVD somewhere or, better yet, "The Making of the Making of The West Wing."</p>
