Well you did it for him. Good job!
It also seemed like some were excusing McCain for his actions because Obama did it too. Did that tactic work with their parents, I wonder?
It was only a few years ago that the warmonger Right was trying to claim credit for the Iraq war causing Khadaffi to become our pal.
I think McCain is more than ready for a permanent stint at the old people's home.
You people still haven't figured this out in this thread.
Holy toledo!!! Check the date. Obama was Commander in Chief. McCain and crew couldn't be over there just willy nilly offering weapons.
So, let's put on our thinking caps. Who would have authorized this trip in 2009?
Come on. You can do it.
i pointed that little tidbit out early on. The mouth breathers promptly ignore it. They don't much like facts getting in the ay of their hate. Makes them all cranky and stuff.
Why is this a surprise. The entire world decided years ago to let bygones be bygones and make nice with Qadaffi as long as he kept the oil flowing.
Even the Community Organizer shook hands with him, although he resisted the overwealming temptation to bow, so I guess that's something.
"must stand up straight...must stand up straight..."
So I guess that Obama can take credit for the hard work of the rest of NATO and the rebels, and hopefully this all won't turn to shit before the election when we figure out that we've put people more dangerous than Qadaffi in charge, or maybe his homies in the MSM won't report the slaughter.
Obama's biggest problem is that his own followers are starting to turn on him, though.
Where does this myth come that anyone was complaining that we weren't doing enough to get rid of Qadaffi? Was there anyone? Seriously?

NO myth! McCain was still talking about it after the fact.

Did you bother to watch the video?
McCain is a military man. Towards the end of the clip, he plainly states that had 'the full weight of US air power' been used, the issue would have been settled more quickly. He then immediately stated that it was done, and lets move on.
If you want to characterize that as complaining, instead of answering a direct question, be my guest.

I did and it sure sounded to me like he was complaining. I guess you could call it "sour grapes". Either way I was embarrassed for the man the way he's pandering to right wing these days. Where's the maverick we used to know and love?!?!
Obama did no such thing. It's already come out that it was pressure from BP Oil, on the British government.assuming the cable is valid...do you have proof mccain did this without obama's approval? i find it hard to believe all these people just unilaterally went there without the president's approval.
It happened in '09. Libya was not considered to be a threat at that time. As a matter of fact it was around the time that Obama put pressure on Scotland to release the Lockerbie bomber on "humanitarian grounds".
This is not the point. It's not about whether he was an ally, or if we were going to sell him weapons, or any of that other bullshit.So? Neither was right.as i suspected, thread fail. obama was on the same page as mccain et al just one month prior to attacking libya.

You find it very easy to lie about the President, don't you?
Both Cameron and President Barack Obama, who met with him at the White House, condemned the release of the Libyan bomber.

Who's arguing that? The question is why was he saying it after the fact? That's the "sour grapes" part.

He was supposed to say we 'should have done X' before the fact?

lmao....and what about obama's actions and his recent words? you completely ignore that obama just met with gaddafi RECENTLY. did obama condemn mccain for going over there? you're deluded if you think all those senators didn't have authority or at a minimum, tacit approval from obama.
you're partisan blinders are strong.

Aren't those photos from the U.N. meeting in NY? That's not "Obama meeting with Gaddafi". That's "Obama passing Gaddafi in the room, and greeting him, as any host President would".
Big difference. Maybe you can show when Obama traveled to Tripoli to visit with Gaddafi?
But the question is: Why would McCain go to Tripoli and promise weapons to someone who "has American blood on his hands"?:
McCain struck a distinctly different tone this week, telling Foxs Greta van Susteren that he [Muammar Qadhafi] has the blood of Americans on his hands as a result of Pan Am 103. He is a person who over time would if he were able to succeed would clearly train terrorists and export terrorism.
