WASHINGTON, June 7 (UPI) -- The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has postponed debate on a resolution on U.S. involvement in the military mission in Libya, led by NATO, a spokesman said.
The resolution, sponsored by committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., and John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the committee, would generally express Senate approval of the U.S. role in Libya, Politico reported, citing senators familiar with the proposal. (sni;)
McCain said he spoke with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Monday about a vote on his resolution, adding that he believes the resolution will pass handily and should satisfy senators concerned that Obama hasn't complied with the War Powers Act, Roll Call reported Tuesday.

McCain told the world that we have nothing to fear from senator barak obama.
Then toward the end of the campaign, he make the statement that “they broke me”.
nuff said.

And I wasted my hard earned money on McCain’s campaign? I’ll never donate to a RINO’s campaign again. McCain is a gross mistake.

Recent developments in Libya suggest that it could be over rather soon.

The MSM went all out in 2008 to have McCain be the Republican nominee, because they (the MSM) knew ObaMao would clean his clock. McCain as the 2008 nominee was a product of the MSM, and the idiot Repubs took the bait...hook, line and sinker.

Does McCain need new ‘Obama Brand Kneepads’ yet? Surely his old pair are wearing out!

Has McCain ever seen a war he didn’t like? We have no business at all in Libya. I believe it’s debatable whether we should even be in Afghanistan at the level we are. Are we supposed to stay in these countries forever, just so they will remain halfway stable, and to keep their populations from eating one another?

I’m sure I’ll get blasted for saying this, but I get angry with Sarah Palin every time McCain helps Obama screw the country. Endorsing and raising money for this traitor was absolutely, irrefutably unjustified.
