McCain: It's time to step up aid to Libya - azmouse - 10-21-2011 09:17 AM
Hey McCain, when will it be time to step up aid to the American people?
We need help at home. Pass the Jobs Bill!
Quote:WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. John McCain has consistently called for a more active U.S. role in supporting the Libyan rebels. He also has been a frequent critic of both the Obama administration and his fellow conservatives in Congress on U.S. policy toward Libya.
But, on Capitol Hill on Thursday, in the wake of the death of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, McCain said the administration "deserves great credit" for his demise.
McCain, one of the strongest supporters in Congress of the Libyan revolution, was a nearly constant presence on cable news shows Thursday, discussing Gadhafi's death. He spent the day calling on the United States to step up its support for the Libyan people.
"The United States, along with our European allies and Arab partners, must now deepen our support for the Libyan people as they work to make the next phase of their democratic revolution as successful as the fight to free their country," he said in a prepared statement.

They can use Gadhafi's money for aid....unfreeze all that was held in his name and give it to Libya. We can aid by helping with the transition and developing the new government......with diplomats, not boots on the ground.
