John McCain, Joseph Lieberman, and Lindsey Graham are the Senate’s most energetic proponents of sinking the nation ever deeper into the Libyan morass. In a joint interview on Fox last weekend, Senators McCain (R., Ariz.) and Lieberman (I., Conn.) were breathless in their rendering of the “freedom fighters” and the “Arab Spring” of spontaneous “democracy.” Friday they upped the ante with a Wall Street Journal op-ed, rehearsing yet again what an incorrigible thug Qaddafi is and how “we cannot allow [him] to consolidate his grip” on parts of Libya that he still controls.
For his part, Senator Graham (R., S.C.) told CNN Wednesday that he would like President Obama to designate Qaddafi an “unlawful enemy combatant” with an eye toward legitimizing the strongman’s assassination. He and Wolf Blitzer discussed whether the hit could be pulled off by the covert intelligence operatives President Obama has inserted in Libya. The next day, in his plaintive questioning of Defense Secretary Robert Gates at a Senate hearing, Senator Graham wondered why American air power could not just “drop a bomb on him, to end this thing.”
As a matter of law, Graham’s proposal is ludicrous — no small thanks to federal law that Graham himself helped write, about which more in an upcoming column. What was especially striking about the hearing was the tone of righteous indignation Senators Graham and McCain took in whipping the Obama administration over government blundering.
But what about their own blundering? The senators most strident about the purported need to oust Qaddafi, to crush his armed forces, and to kill him if that’s what it takes to empower the rebels, are the very senators who helped fortify Qaddafi’s military and tighten the despotic grip of which they now despair.

” with an eye toward legitimizing the strongman’s assassination”?
Soooo,
If we kill wackey Kadaffi it would be different than them killing Obammy how?
This is why conservatives can not trust the GOP to represent their interests as so many of the old dogs and young pups are but liberals and traitors. The tea party is the only ones who are conservatives and some of them have gone over to the dark side of politics. May God have mercy on conservatives who support the Constitution as our Christian forefathers wrote it and drive the rest out of power as they are not fit to rule over free men.
GOP senators sway, conservatives pay!
Well birds of a feather flock together. That is what we have with the 3 stooges of the Senate. They are a little cliche just like in high school. They all sit together in the Senate Cafeteria and go on little jaunts together overseas then come back and have a press conference on this and that. McStain is the puppet master and Lieberman and Miss Lindsay are his adoring entourage.
Exhibit A, showing how both parties are co-opted by Ruling Class pukes.
Lindsey Graham is a fag.
John McCain is a debased, self centered, conniving old tool.
We have had at least two generations of secular humanist unbelievers and lawyers (most of whom cynically masquerade as Christians, but who actually have no faith and no foundation) who are now in power. They are Pragmatists, willing to sell the future for a little time in the sun.
We have no good leaders because unregenerate men and women all turn into Ruling Class pukes when they get power. They are professionals, not patriots.
Response: What oil interest do they represent?
