(RINO) McCain: Bomb Libya, enforce no-fly zone
The New York Post ^ | 2011-03-06

Posted on 03/06/2011 11:49:57 AM PST by rabscuttle385

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain called Moammar Khadafy "insane" today as he reaffirmed his call for a US-backed no-fly zone over Libya to prevent its embattled leader from using aircraft to slaughter its citizens.

During an interview on ABC News' "This Week," McCain told Christiane Amanpour that the US cannot "risk allowing Gadhafi to massacre people from the air, both by helicopter and fixed-wing [aircraft]."

McCain (R-Ariz.) furthered reiterated his support for imposing a no-fly zone, saying Ghadafi's air assets were "not overwhelming."

"Let's just call a spade a spade. A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya to destroy the air defenses," McCain continued. "That's the way you do a no-fly zone."

It’s the usual global win win, help the enemy & price support.

I think Juan should send his overly plump bimbo daughter to the nearest recruiting office.

That ought to scare Gadaffi pout of his skin.

Perhaps a younger McCain should enter in some of the many battles Juan wishes to wage.

I know many of us are tired of putting only middle class skin in the game.

Juan McCain would send the American Air Force to bomb the revolution of 1776. He would.

Hey, its only right. Him, and his kind, only want to stop anything that equals ‘change’. They want everything to be the same always.

That is what keeps them in power.

Ghaddafi is almost as crazy as McCain.But the only insurrection we should covertly support with money and arms in the Middle East is the budding one against the mullahs in Iran because it is in our national interest to be rid of the mullahs. I do not trust any of these “democracy” movements because in many of these countries the insurrectionists may very well be looking to substitute their own brand of Islamic tyranny for the tyranny that is in place.One of the benefits of these civil wars in the Middle East is that they are now preoccupied with killing each other than warring with the West.Let them have their fun. Obama needs to stay out of Libya and let them have their civil war on their own. Libya supplies Europe with its oil and colonial Europe are the ones that created these artificial states. Let Europe handle the issue which, of course, they will not.

Since the rebels are probably going to make a mess out of that country (at least regarding US interests), it’s no surprise that McCain is on their side.

Hey Juan, forget the no fly zone, I'd rather see a no cross zone on our southern border. We have an honest to God war breaking out down there, we should be using the military until we could get a real wall built.

Before we take on anymore M.E. border security operations, let's get our own borders in order.

Every time he opens his mouth, McCain seems crazier and crazier.

Isn’t it ironic that the same week that there is a debate about whether to get involved helping the rebels in Libya we had an Islamic Kosovo national open fire on our military men in Germany, killing two in the name of jihad—??

Ironic because of course Clinton and Blair entered the Kosovo fracas in the 1990s on the side of the Muzzies and helped them win, beefing up al Qaeda among other horrible results, and proving as it did in Germany the other day that when it comes to the Muzzies, no good deed (by us) goes unpunished (by them).

Oh well. McCain has gone ignored before. Hopefully again.

As soon as I read the title of thought you, then noticed that you posted this so no need to ping. Came in to feel all of the love for mccrazy lol.

This idiot is such an embarrassment to republicans.

How about we name how we feel about McCain as McCain Truth Syndrome, aka MTS?

A no-fly zone and a Democrat President? 8 years of Saddam shooting at our pilots in a no-fly zone still doesn’t set good with this American. Start and finish in a few days or stay out.

McCain: Bomb Libya, enforce no-fly zone

Not unless the Europeans - and that means the French and the Germans as well as the British - also contribute heavily in terms of funding and military participation. Europe is the main buyer of Libyan oil - this is their issue more than ours. The US remains the world's guarantor of peace, but we need to make the parasites do their part.

McVain has apparently learned nothing from Kosovo. All the money we spent on bombing Serbs to save Muzzies just got repaid to us with two assassinated U.S. servicemen in Germany.

Sorry to sound cold, but Muzzies killing Muzzies is (with rare exceptions like the guy on my Freeper page) a generally good thing.
