"I reminded them that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia reimbursed us after Operation Desert Storm," McCain says. "They said they'd be glad to discuss that.

"They're very good people," he says. "Mainly well-educated, a number of women in the [Transitional National Council] -- very normal, dedicated people."

McCain dismissed concerns that rebel forces include some veterans of al Qaeda. "I'm sure that there may be some element there, but I guarantee you that they didn't rise up because they wanted to be al Qaeda fighters," McCain says. "They rose up because they wanted to throw off the yoke of Gadhafi, the same way that people in Egypt rose up and the same way that people in Syria are rising up. It's not because they're al Qaeda extremists, it's that their tired of being governed by an extremist who doesn’t hesitate to massacre them."
McCain became impatient when reminded of a 2007 report which found that Libya, and specifically Benghazi, had been a source of insurgents who traveled to Iraq to fight American forces there. "Look, that's not why the Libyans rose up," McCain emphasizes. "It's not an al Qaeda-led insurrection. These are ordinary citizens who wanted to get rid of Gadhafi, who was one of the more brutal dictators in the region. I don't think they're any more al Qaeda-inspired than what's going on in Syria, or what went on in Egypt, or what went on in Tunisia...This wasn't fomented by al Qaeda, it was fomented by chance who saw a chance, an opportunity, for a much better life. They hate Gadhafi. They hate Gadhafi with a passion that is hard to describe. And it isn't because they're al Qaeda, it's because they are citizens who want freedom and democracy."

Who funds him? The Navajos and lots of gambling money for one.
Who coaches him? Obama Dupes.
This retired Naval Officer commends McCain to the bottom of the deep blue sea.
An obvious Al-Quaeda inspired revolution needs no American support.
I don’t trust McCain. It’s more than just disagreeing with him. I just honestly am not sure who he supports, and what he stands for. It seems that just when enough people start questioning who he is and what side of the aisle he’s really on, he does just enough to make it seem as though he’s a conservative. As soon as the questions subside he does something else that makes you wonder.
McCain should go live in Kosovostan—the muslim terror parastate he helped set up. They love Cindy there too.
“Good God, you OLD FOOL....let Obama take care of it !! He is mucking it up just fine .....he doesn’t need any mucking up from you !!”
Yes, but you know how Juan worships at the altar of bi-partisanship. Just can’t let obungler wander into the swamp alone.
The neo-cons also fund McCain, the ones who more than any other group are responsible for turning the Republican Party into a Democrat clone. The first generation neo’s were card-carrying Democrats who left that party when McGovern was nominated because they wanted military action against the communists. Now their children and grand-children are the same thing, agreeing with the Democrats on every issue except war. The neo’s want US war, war, war in the Middle East, against almost everyone, and they are willing to pay candidates for it.
It’s easy to recognize a neo-con column or web site: war, war, war, with most conservative issues totally ignored. Praise for the McCain-type RINOs, and articles from time to time about how we need to go along with the Democrats on illegal alien amnesty or some socialist program.
He is playing right into the left’s hand. Now it looks like McCain is much more intimately involved in this conflict, and can now be blamed for starting it or at least perpetuating it. Fool.
Other than that this thing in Libya is about George Soros wanting to control that $5T in wealth which Libya represents. Soros, Bork Obunga, and presumably also John the "Maverick(TM)" McCain are attempting to pull off what amounts to a bank robbery in broad daylight and using American military assets to do it.
Most likely Obastard asked McCain to do it. Obastard started it and then walked away and now looks like a fool so he asked McLame to go give the conflict some conservative credibility. I have no doubt McLame was more than pleased to help him out.
The Tea Paarty needs to join al Queda - the our polticians would listen and respond to our concerns. :(

“How is it possible for one man to be so ignorant?”
Yep, especially when you have a family of Admirals guaranteeing your career choice. Noticed the Ivy League lately. Inbreeding does it every time.
