WASHINGTON -- Arizona Sen. John McCain said Thursday during a trip to Libya to meet with the nation's new rulers that the Libyan people "have inspired the world."

"They have paid an enormous price for their freedom, but the sacrifice of the Libyan people has delivered their great nation to the shores of a new world full of new hope; a chance for all Libyans to know lasting peace, dignity and justice," he told reporters at a news conference.

McCain was joined by three other Republican senators in the highest-profile American delegation to visit the country since the ouster of longtime leader Muammar Qaddafi.

McCain, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida met with the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, and other high-ranking officials of the group that is now governing Libya after the rebels forced Qaddafi from power.

Let McCain voluntarily surrender his government pensions to pay for this before he saddles us taxpayers with more debt. Come on John, be a good old soldier - fade away...

I can't believe Arizona re-elected this guy.

I can't believe I voted for him for POTUS.

Well, I can understand that.

Can we get our air base back in Libya — the one stolen from us in 1968? Can we own some Libyan oil fields? Check it out John.

You are supposed to become wiser when you get older. Did someone forget to inform Mc Cain or did someone tell him and he couldn’t remember. I bet if he pulled a few strings he could get himself into the Old Soldiers Home based upon mental infirmity.

The senile drooling idiot strikes again. When the Libyan Muj goes psychotic, McCain will be nowhere to be seen.

STFU, Maverick. It’s blatantly obvious that you never recovered from the brainwashing you received while a captive POW. And for the record, nobody was voting for you in 2008. They were voting for Palin in spite of you.

He must be too vain to get it. Wish he'd just go away.

I am so inspired by the hacking off of heads of the new regimes political enemies that I have decided to never ever even think of voting for a RINO gas bag again. Our congress is so removed from reality that they have become embarrassing when they open their mouths.
