STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN AND GRAHAM ON END OF THE QADAFFI REGIME IN LIBYA
Sen, John McCain website ^ | August 21, 2011 | John McCain - Lindsey Graham

Posted on 08/21/2011 6:46:36 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) today released the following statement regarding the end of the Qadaffi regime in Libya:

“The end of the Qadaffi regime in Libya is a victory for the Libyan people and for the broader cause of freedom in the Middle East and throughout the world. This achievement was made possible first and foremost by the struggle and sacrifice of countless Libyans, whose courage and perseverance we applaud. We also commend our British, French, and other allies, as well as our Arab partners, especially Qatar and the UAE, for their leadership in this conflict. Americans can be proud of the role our country has played in helping to defeat Qaddafi, but we regret that this success was so long in coming due to the failure of the United States to employ the full weight of our airpower.

“Ultimately, our intervention in Libya will be judged a success or failure based not on the collapse of the Qaddafi regime, but on the political order that emerges in its place.

Remember this statement mccain, when all of north africa is under muslim brotherhood control.

Has anybody yet determined what the politics of the rebels might be? Do we have any idea who they are? Or what they intend to do?

Let's ask Jimmy Carter - He is really gud at figuring out radical mussies.

Nice work -- criticized Zero without mentioning the sorry a-hole by name. FAIL.

Wanna stick two knives in me?

I’m a Vietnam vet (sorry as h**l to sound like John F’ing Kerry).

I’m a South Carolinian who voted against Little Lord Flimsey Tinkerbelle.

And these two Rinob@stards represent the Republican view on U.S. foreign policy!!? I’m sick to my stomach and I hope that the exiled mass murderer Gaddafi shows up here on a U.N. visa and calls them out!!!!!

And after he’s through with them, then and only then do we arrest him. And if he spills the beans on every last nuclear ambitioned dictator in the sorry Middle East, then we allow Gaddafi all his hottie bodyguardettes and feed him all the Wagyu beef he wants to the end of his days.

Up to here with these, these...words fail me.....
