BENGHAZI, Libya -- The Libyan rebels fighting Muammar Qaddafi's forces are getting a shout out from U.S. Sen. John McCain, who is calling for increased military support, including providing weapons, training and giving close air support to the opposition on the battlefield.
The Arizona Republican senator said at a news conference Friday in the rebels' stronghold in eastern Libya that all nations should recognize the opposition's Transitional National Council as the legitimate voice of the Libyan people.
He said nations need to provide the council with "every appropriate means of assistance," including "command and control support, battlefield intelligence, training and weapons."
His comments come a day after the United States started flying armed drones to bolster NATO firepower and try to break a battlefield stalemate with Qaddafi's forces.
McCain praised Libya's rebels as his "heroes."

Mr.Obama Lite, get a clue. Oh, I forgot - You are part of the globalist NWO Soros team and are happy to drag America down the chute, too - Repent, you sinner!
Then McLame called Obummer to see if he could pick up his dry cleaning on his way home. This guy is a total POS but kisser. Why any GOPer is calling for anything escalation over there when the rebels are just as bad as Kadaffy blows my mind. This thing is a total loser.
George Soros must have called...told Juan McAmnesty to support Libyan rebels
This jerk helped elect the Messiah and now he carries out the Messiah's program. Maybe there is something the matter with the water in Arizona that this fraud/faux Conservative keeps getting elected.
NO! We don’t even know who these people are! McCain...please just SHUT UP!
NO! We don’t even know who these people are! McCain...please just SHUT UP!
My, My...see what the R establishment served up to us last time. I can’t wait to see how they try to push Romney on us.
I am getting sick and tired of these political hacks trying to grand stand.
Can’t the likes of McCain, Newt, Romney and Huck just go away quietly?
If they think they represent conservatives they are sadly mistaken....at least this conservative.
Hey McShame!!! Why don’t you resign from the Senate and go to Libya to become the Commander in Chief of all the rebel forces? Patriotic Americans won’t miss you.PS and take your daughter too!
Let Meghan hang out with those brave rebels.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
If the US gets anymore involved in Libya, we need to stage anti-war protests at the Democrat convention, ala the 1960s.
The Dem & Repub labels are no longer worth the powder to blow them to Hades. You are either a NWO Globalist or you are a Patriot who supports national sovereignty and avoiding foreign entanglements. Judge by the fruit of actions - not words.
Chicago (?) all over again!
You go Juan.
And take your daughter too.
McQueeg Gee Wiz how about a boat load of shoulder fired anti aircraft missiles?\s I Know these are more of Your “Gods” children ,but think of America ONCE in a while you senile, hateful Jerk!
What surprises me with McLames escalation here is that he doesn’t see a parallel to how the US got stuck in Indochina. We have the French leading the way in an action we all know they have no chance of finishing, especially if thing keep spiraling out of control. I just see a few odd parallels to Viet Nam, except the side we are supporting in this are not just lazy, they are terrorists.
