WASHINGTON, Libya (AFP) — Senator John McCain called Sunday for urgent US medical aid to help thousands wounded in Libya, amid a growing humanitarian crisis as revolutionary forces battle the final vestiges of the Moamer Kadhafi regime.

"They've got thousands and thousands of wounded. They say that they've lost 25,000 people killed, 3,000 have been maimed, 60,000 injured. That's their government figures," McCain told CBS television's "Face the Nation" program.

"We should be helping them," said the influential US lawmaker, a Vietnam War aviator and prominent voice on US military matters who also was the Republican Party's losing 2008 presidential candidate.

How about we start taking care of our own crap before helping others?

US must send medical aid to Libya

Even after private sector America is gang raped and robbed by government, we continue to be the world's pinata, as the globalist political insiders pass out the bats.

Hey! What’s all this talk of wounded? I thought this was a humanitarian mission. < /s >

Let Sarkozy pay the tab. This was mostly his idea. Or maybe Obama, McCain, and the guys who supported our getting into this slaughter. The least they could do is donate their campaign funds.

We haven’t got funds to take care of our own, let alone other people around the world. If we did send money, it would be money borrowed from the Chinese, why not have China supply the aid directly?

To answer my own question, China would expect to get repaid, either directly in cash, or by taking Libyan oil as repayment. And every drop of oil taken by the Chinese is that much oil denied to Europe and other consumers in Africa and the surrounding region.

If McCain thinks any funny money we sent to Libya to be used for medical purposes will be used as such I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell him. Thank you again Arizona voters for foisting this ongoing tragedy of a man on us—again and again.

So when Japan has a devastating earthquake, we should just say “too bad”?

Let me guess, you’re a Ron Paul supporter, right? Sorry, foreign policy doesn’t work like that. But I don’t think we should be sending aid to Libya. Our senators and representatives shouldn’t even be going there. Who are these people? We don’t know for certain, but we do know that some of the new government has links to terrorists organizations. Shame on McCain.

I totally agree! We should be helping them, with US flags plastered all over each container!

Now, if the new Libyan government will just sign these loan documents to sell us the equivalent $ for oil, priced at market, our relief planes will be airbourne in two hours!

So you’d give the open door to the Chinese?

There is money for our own. It is not all coming from the Chinese.

Seems there are people on this thread who didn’t get their free cheese. Maybe they should join the anti-Wall Street demonstrators.

Who needs enemies with people like this?

Why do you think the thieves will give us oil? BTW, who are these folks anyway? McCain doesn’t know. He just thinks they aren’t Kaddafi, so that’s good. Well, these people have links to AQ and other terrorists organizations.

Republicans promoting what democrats excel at, creating a problem and creating a bigger problem by trying to fix the problem they created in the first place.

All at a much greater expense to the tax payers without concern of course. FUJM!
