Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday evening that he and a group of negotiators have nailed down language on a Libya resolution and are waiting for instructions from leadership on how to proceed.
The measure would serve as a symbolic gesture of support for President Barack Obamas use of military force in the North African country. Under the War Powers Act, Congress must authorize continued military presence in Libya after a May deadline if American troops are still active there, but its unclear if the Senate needs to act.
We pretty well got the resolution nailed down and now were discussing with the leaders whether we need the vote and if so, when, McCain told a small group of reporters.

Appoint McCain commander of the new AfrikaKorps and send him over!
More evidcenc — as if any were needed — that the 2008 election was a sham.
This confirms it as absolute folly.
Dress McCain up like McAurthur...with the Ray Ban Aviators and corncob pipe and send ashore in Tripoli!

This is the guy that everyone’s hero backed for return to Washington, D. C. in 2010.
Now we’re having to deal with him submarining us from our side of the isle.
Despite this there are excuses apleanty and slaps on the back for being the sage of 2012.
Good fricken grief.
Can she at the very least slap a muzzle on this fricken bastard.
Soros has all his minions working hard on the Libya situation.
McCain never met a war he didn’t like. He must not know that the USA is broke, that Obama’s only meaningful budget cuts are in the Defense Dept. and that we don’t need to fight wars all over the world for people who hate us.
Good grief. You can’t make this up.
So, what will THIS bill be called? The McCain-Obama bill?
McCain is only still in Congress so he can get the liberals to like him again before he ran against their messiah and wasn’t suddenly a favorite anymore. McCain should have retired.
All that was necessary is for Obammy to whisper “sweet nothings” in Juan’s ear and he was all ready and primed to “bend over”.
Nothing new here...
McCain would have been a horrid President.
These “support” resolutions have ways of turning into declarations of war (a la the Tonkin resolution).
I’d be wary of Congress saying anything at all; the president’s hands are tied (if loosely) until then.
He is a horrid Senator, but the clowns in Arizona sent him back to clown some more.
So instead of impeaching Obama for launching a war without a declaration of war from Congress, these so-called Republicans and so-called Conservatives want to join in and help out after the fact?
=8-)
What’s everybody bitching about?!? This is just a kinetic military operation.....
“(We’re) waiting for instructions from leadership” ....
“were discussing with the leaders whether we need the vote”
says Democrat Friend, neo-con toad, `moderate’ Republican lickspittle and Obama butt-boy, Juan “Open Borders” McCain.
We have read and approved this message.
We dictated it to him.
Best Regards,
your Overlords,
The DNC,
the WH &
the `Beltway Gang’.
I wonder if Mrs. Mc Cain is jealous of Leslie Graham?
