John McCain on Kadafi: U.S. must now deepen Libyan ties (McCainiac Mark Kirk praises Hillary, Obama)
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 2011-10-20 | James Oliphant

Posted on 10/20/2011 6:24:18 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Sen. John McCain, one of the most ardent supporters in Washington of the Libyan resistance, released a statement on the reported death of Col. Moammar Kadafi, calling for the United States to “deepen” its support for the strife-torn nation.

(snip)

“The death of Moammar Kadafi marks an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution,” McCain said Thursday. “While some final fighting continues, the Libyan people have liberated their country. Now the Libyan people can focus all of their immense talents on strengthening their national unity, rebuilding their country and economy, proceeding with their democratic transition, and safeguarding the dignity and human rights of all Libyans. The United States, along with our European allies and Arab partners, must now deepen our support for the Libyan people, as they work to make the next phase of their democratic revolution as successful as the fight to free their country.”

(snip)

...Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who accompanied McCain to Libya last month, released a statement crediting the administration.

"Today marks the end of Kadafi's reign and a new opportunity for freedom, prosperity and a voice in the global community for Libyans," he said. "The administration, especially Secretary Clinton, deserves our congratulations."

I’m just wondering if McCain is financially benefitting from this?

Why is John McCain creeping out from under the woodwork at this time? I got an email from him today, which I didn’t read, and deleted it.

Ya think his wife has some leftover cases of Billy Beer?

Hey, here’s McQueeg sucking up to Qadaffi in Tripoli just 2 years ago. Like, he ought to be sending flowers or something, along with his sidekick Grannesty and Fudd Lieberman.

And if you watch the video, you’ll even see Clueless Sue Collins drop Qafaffi a curtsy when he finally gives her a glance.

I got the email from McCain too, and it was about jobs and didn’t mention Libya.

I had actually deleted it too, ha, but just went back to see what it said.

Yes, McCain needs to go away. We don’t even know who’s going to overtake Libya, but by all means embrace them, deepen our support, barf barf barf.
