Arizona Sen. John McCain said the United States must lead the world in providing support to Libya as they begin their post-Gadhafi era.
"I think we would be well-served if we make sure that there is not an extremist takeover or hijacking of this revolution," McCain said.
McCain appeared on CNN's "The Situation Room", where he said an earlier and stronger showing of power by the U.S. in the air could have shortened the conflict significantly.
"The only thing that was holding [Gadhafi] in power was money and fear," McCain said. "Once those are dissipated by military strength, it is very difficult for anyone to be loyal to Gadhafi."

I guess we should line up all the billionaires and insist they empty their accounts. It seems as though Warren Buffet would be happy to contribute.
zero additional money for zero.
Buffy should lead the way. I’m having a hard time sleeping at night know poor little Buffy is out there somewhere fretting over not being able to pay all the taxes he wants to pay. All the jerk has to do is write out a check to the U.S. Treasury. Unfortuantely, you can’t fix stupid.
C’mon AZ can’t you guys start a recall petition and try and get rid of of this clown? Tell me you McCain voters don’t have buyers remorse.
Didn’t Sarah Palin vote for this guy?
I have a better idea mcstain... NO!
LLS
So, what would happen if Congress agreed to pillage the richest of the rich next time they “needed” to raise the debt ceiling?
well wouldnl’t that be just grand if we helped overthrow libya and we helped al quaeda?
McCain already helped establish one Islamic state in Kosovo.
he is insane and why do the people of AZ keep electing him?
It’s getting too close to post time for Jay Leno to pick this up:
“Obama has reached agreement with the Rebels in Libya. He will send them Tea Partyers, to teach them about creating a free constitutional republic. In return, Ghadafi will come to the U.S. to teach Obama how to properly run a dictatorship.”
Ok...set aside for a moment that Libya has like 5 triaxle dump trucks full of gold somewhere -you know, just a trifle.
Let’s see, we borrow more money from China, so we can buy influence in Libya. Oh no, China already had a significant footprint there...???
We get yet another base, infinite lease payments expense and yet more debt.
China gets the oil.
On second thouht, if we can exile John McCain and Obama to Libya, it might be worth it.

“Where are you going to get the money there Juan? Were broke.”
Well??? So what?? Just add it to the list:

I wish John McCain would finally grow up and get a job so he can, you know, pay for all this kind of stuff himself.
McCain wants to make sure shariah law will be well established in Libya.
First, make a list of every congressman and senator with assets over $250,000. Confiscate the lot. Convert it into $100 bills. Drop it over Tripoli.
Hey, as long as they want to throw money down a rat hole, let’s make sure it’s THEIR money.
In a word—No
