McCain: Libya inspires people in China, Russia, Iran, Syria (Rubio is flanked by multiple RINOs)

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - U.S. Senator John McCain said on Thursday the fall of Muammar Gaddafi was inspiring people all over world, including citizens of Syria, Iran, China and Russia, but he twinned his praise with caution about Libya's many revolutionary armed groups, saying they had to be brought under control.

Leading the first visit to Tripoli by members of the U.S. Congress since Gaddafi's fall last month, McCain added at a media conference that U.S. investors were eager to do business in the oil-exporting country but this would be difficult as long as fighting continued.

Many residents of the capital say they want the return of the police and the departure of trigger-happy provincial gunmen who have based themselves there since they helped topple Gaddafi last month, saying they fear the militias' jockeying for post-revolutionary power may turn violent.

"We believe very strongly that the people of Libya today are inspiring the people in Tehran, in Damascus, and even in Beijing and Moscow," said the Republican Senator from Arizona, a former presidential contender.

"They continue to inspire the world -- and let people know that even the worst dictators can be overthrown and be replaced by freedom and democracy."

McCain will probably endorse Obama. Good riddance. I wish he would just change parties.

How al-Qaeda got to rule in Tripoli:

Obama is a Muslim plant doing everything he can to destroy the country as we know it but virtually no American will believe it because the MSM says he is NOT a Muslim.

Obama does everything he can to help Radical Muslim agendas from blocking oil drilling to enciting race wars to putting Al Qaeda into power in Libya.

Obama, America’s first Muslim President. Sharia law is soon to follow if Americans do not wake up.

This idiot is right. Libyan people inspire the world how to resist UKUSA and French looters.

Mc KLAin should look through the window and ask himself - if Gaddafi is deposed, why green flags are flying in Tripoli and all over Libya.

Or why NTC rats are running from responsibility to create government.

Or why NATO can not use Tripoli port.

Libya botched heist is the biggest scam I can recollect in my entire life. The blocking of the news is so pervasive that it is mind boggling. And frightening.

As of what Rubio is doing in that company, IMHO he is on Islamofascist payroll.

(Show me an American politician who claims that attack on Christian Serbs, stealing of their land and creating Islamofascist stronghold was justified and I will show you politiciAn who is either idiot or on Islamosfacsist payroll. Or both.)
