With a non-fly effectively put into place over Libya, Sen. John McCain says momentum in the fighting between the Muammar Qaddafi regime and rebel fighters can now swing back to anti-Qaddafi forces, but acknowledges they will need more weapons and better training.
McCain, R-Ariz., said on CBS' "The Early Show" that he hopes the United States, or others in the international community, supplies rebels with arms, as it once did insurgents fighting the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.

"If the goal then is to get him out, does that ultimately mean that the U.S. could end up arming the rebels to help make that happen?" Hill asked.

"I think that that's very possible - in fact, I hope so, that if not the U.S., through other countries," McCain said. "There [are] already reports that the Egyptians have been supplying them with some weapons.
"By the way it does take time - it did during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan - but we were able to provide them with some weapons and wherewithal to cause the Russians to leave Afghanistan. So we can do it."

Do what, McCain? Give them "the wherewithal" to do
again?
Hell, McCain, maybe you can do us all a favor and go over there and teach them how to crash planes into stationary objects.
After all, you're an expert on crashing planes, and it's no secret that you love Islamists.
Oh, and by the way, FUJM!
Don’t worry, McCain. Al Qaeda is already arming the rebels, with the help of Iran and Syria. Haven’t you seen the picture of them passing out rocket launchers from the backs of their cars? Where do you suppose they got those things?
Hey Queeg! If you want to arm another country, YOU do it! We are broke!
Thanks again, Arizona.
I think if Obama and McCain really wanted peace they would personally agree to go into the mountains of Pakistan without bodyguards and meet personally with Bin Laden and beg him for peace.
Why don’t we flood the country with shoulder launched Stinger antiaircraft missiles? These freedom loving rebels would never use them against us. They love us. I already miss Hayworth.
There may be a lot of well meaning Muslims in the rebel side, but they are soft targets for the Radicals. They are no match for the radicals, the radicals will not hesitate to eliminate them with their easy access to supplied weaponry from Iran or Syria. Terror will rule the nation and the good doers will vanish amongst the rest of the sheep.
John McCain armed Kosovo Islamic terrorists
Gadaffi and Obama are both clearly loose cannons. But I just wonder how many people who are screaming for Obama's head for not getting Congressional authorization for Libya, would be screaming for McCain's head if he'd become president instead and had done the same thing?
MQueeg you are an Idiot and a Obama supporter ,shut up and go away!

The story on ‘the Morning Joe’ today is that Hillary pressured Obama into this military action. That reminded me of something I said many times in 2007 and 2008 :”McCain and Hillary are like two peas in a pod”. I couldnt imagine them running against each other.
Yeah McCain you stupid jerk. Those “rebels” we armed in Afganistan are now called the TALIBAN.
Just shut up!
I would.
