(CBS News)- Sen. John McCain continued to press President Barack Obama for a more forceful strategy to remove Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya, saying that the U.S. should be willing to use "any means" necessary to accomplish that goal and comparing the current strategy of limited air power combined with diplomatic pressure to the post-Gulf War strategy in Iraq that kept Saddam Hussein in power.
Mr. Obama laid out his case for intervention Monday night, saying that he authorized the use of missile and airstrikes in an international military action to protect civilians from a "massacre."
However, while the U.S. policy calls for the departure of Qaddafi from power, the president said the U.S. would not be willing to pursue deeper military involvement, such as sending in ground troops, to make that happen.
Instead, the U.S. would support the continued coalition-led no-fly zone in addition to economic sanctions and other diplomatic tools to increase pressure on Qaddafi.

Republican Globalist Alert!
Well, we had the McCain-Feingold campaign funding fiasco.
Then we had the McCain-Kennedy Alien Amnesty bill, which fortunately didn’t pass.
Now are we to expect the McCain-Obama Kinetic Military Action plan?
(KMA means that we deplete our entire supply of cruise missiles on lunatic targets, and then blame the Republicans if they ever try to replace them, just in case we might actually need them some time or other.)
Push out Gaddafi, push in Al Qaeda ..
STFU McLAME!
**When McCain and Obama are on the same side, ... **
THEY WERE ... the election of ‘08
Take Daffy out and the same Muslim world that pretends to support us will turn quicker than a pet rattlesnake.
Thank you Arizona! /s
You are soooo right. That's Obama's wet dream & the jacka$$ McCain wants to help him do it!!
If he keeps up what he's doing - Arizona should start a recall to get him out of there.
& if the other Bozo keeps it up - Americans had better have the guts to call for impeachment before our country is completely destroyed. How long are they going to let him continue to implement his agenda???!!!
We need McCain’s ouster by any means.
Don’t leave out that Sarah supported him for re-election!
Go Sarah’s McCain!
She said they both wanted the same things for our country!
Kadaffy and Mclame should put on the gloves, and go at it until one of them croaks.
Hmmm... “any means”...
I’ve got it! We’ll get a hold of Assad and arrange a country swap. They can both go into exile running some other thoroughly disfunctional country.
Guess he’s been at the Kool Aid, too.
He was definitely compromised. The Manchurian Candidate Syndrome...except with only 1/2 a brain to wash.
How about a twofer, McCain also?
**Don’t leave out that Sarah supported him for re-election!**
And Joe Lieberman was PRO LIFE til he became ALBORE’s running Mate... when you’re #2 on the ticket ... you have to do what #1 says...
So if you wish, keep your dumb massed opinion to yourself
She did not need to support him in his re-election bid.
And the last time I chscked this is an open board.

And the last time I checked this is an open board.
If I wrote off every candidate because they did ONE thing I disagreed with... I’d NEVER BE VOTING!1 And so far ..that’s the ONLY THING I disagree with.
As for your opinion .. it is an open board ,,and I’m open to tell you that you are a PITA, and you can Stuff your dumb massed opinion!
