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."

There are $30 million reasons he was reelected. Much of it from his presidential campaign.
Pray for America
That means, don't hold your breath for Obama to take action in Iran. He's satisfied with the level of anti-americanism within the already established government. No change needed. Judging by Obama's pattern, I would imagine Obama's next war will be with Kuwait.
“Operation Odyssey Dawn”
It’s a dreamy, fabulous name evocative of the new ‘flamboyant’ influence in today’s military. /sarc
No, I’m not supporting him.
The punk ass is on his own.
McLame has been supporting Obama since the campaign, why should he change now.
“these ‘revolutions’ are part of a plan to create an islamic sharia state under the control of iran.”
Exactly right. Iran wants to set up a caliphate.
Man! Am I disgusted! Thank heavens, we have Jon Kyl, pretty much a man of his word!
I aint supporting Obama or anyone in this regime. I will support the poor SOBs that are ordered to put themselves in harms way and pray for their safe return. But Obama get nada, zip, zilch....
McCain is the reason we got saddled with this douche bag to begin with so he can kiss my ass too.
Nope.
You gave him more than enough support for both of us n your pathetc "campaign" in '08.
He lost two multimillion dollar jets or was it three? Letting the enemy beat on you for five years when you had a few other choices...he never fought.....what did he give other than bad decisions. I am not one of those who chooses to give him kudos for torture when thousands of other service men and women captives experienced the same. McCain is not the sharpest knife in the drawer....someone is getting rich somewhere because of his reelection....bad, bad, choice!
FUJM and FUBO. That is all.
WE should not support this action.
Just as is happening in Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, etc, once the leadership is gone we have no idea what or who will be the replacement.
They could be every bit as brutal as the other regimes in the beginning and suppress the natural rights of their citizens with no one to stop them.
Additionally, those new in power would have nothing to lose by being hostile to America or any other country.
They likely will come from positions in society that never afforded them the luxuries and posh lifestyles they will enjoy.
We don’t need the Muslim Brotherhood running these countries.
What we do need is an ordered change with people we support.
This whole mess is going to end in chaos.
We need now to again thank the Republicans in Arizona who renominated him in the primary.
This whole mess is going to end in a caliphate controlled by Iran.
Tah Dahhhh! Winnuh!
You are the only other Freeper I have seen who believes that is the direction the ME is headed.
This cancer will take over the ME and continent of Africa with what will most certainly become the stronger Islamic nations forcing it.
If there is a wrong side to a problem McCain is always on it. So dependable.
...and be labeled a "Peace In Our Time democracy" by Obama Inc.

“Operation Odyssey Dawn”
Last time I heard, wasn’t Odyssey supposed to refer to a LOOONNNNGGGG journey?
Too bad McStain isn’t as passionate about action on our SW border.
