McCain: Obama should have acted faster ("we need, now, to support" Obama)
Politico ^ | 2011-03-20 | Simmi Aujla

President Barack Obama should have moved sooner against Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday.

Earlier action, the senator said on CNN's "State of the Union," would have been more effective in weakening the grip of the controversial leader, who's deployed his forces against rebelling civilians.

"He waited too long, there is no doubt in my mind about it," McCain said of the president. "But now, it is what it is. And we need, now, to support him and the efforts that our military are going to make. And I regret that it didn't - we didn't act much more quickly, and we could have."

Sorry, Juan-Boy. You’re asking far too much.

Now, crawl back under your rock and STFU.

McCain is admitting that Obama botched the situation and mishandled the crisis, but now expects us to rush out and support his failure to lead? What kind of perveted logic is that?

Barack Obama’s “Celebrate Failure 2012 World Tour”. Charming.

Sorry, Juan. No sale.

Same reason Nevada sent Stinky Harry Reid back to the Senate. Conservatives and Republicans were outgunned by the commies and the unions. Both got the illegal alien vote.

"we need, now, to support Obama"

Looks like McLame is trying to gain Congressional Support(which Obama had yet to seek) for the military action Obama is taking against a nation that was no threat to our national security.

Naming wars is stupid enough but Operation Odyssey Dawn? The start of a journey that lasts for years and years? Nice.

once again mccrazy proves he is a moron. he thinks its a good idea for the American military to be assisting radical muzzies who are supposed to be our ENEMIES ?

these ‘revolutions’ are part of a plan to create an islamic sharia state under the control of iran.

Just out of curiosity, Obi Juan, did Obama seek Congressional approval for this action?

Yes. We need to support Al Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya /s

Al Qaida is on the side of the insurgents and that gives me pause. Incidentally, Iran's freedom fighters need help and that should be our priority, but the Messiah doesn't like them because they are pro American :-|

“Why on Earth did the voters of Arizona return this idiot to office?”

Especially when they had a great chance to turn the page and elect a real conservative. Mystifying.

I can’t believe this guy is still on the national stage.
He gave so much for this country but keeps mouthing himself into irrelevancy. My deepest fear is that the RINO”S in the party will get someone just like him nominated again insuring ZERO’s re-election.

Support the military and their efforts? For sure.

Support the indecisive loser who put them in Libya under unproductive circumstances? Not a chance, Juan, you old fool.
