Let's Play Our Bastard/Not Our Bastard

McCain 2009:

Late evening with Col. Qadhafi at his "ranch" in Libya - interesting meeting with an interesting man.

McCain today:


Looking ahead to a possible rebel victory in the civil war, John McCain said it will be very difficult to build a united democratic government there, due to the tribal rivalries.

"We've seen the difficulties with other countries who made this transition, but we will be rid of a guy who has the blood of Americans on his hands. We will be rid of a guy who has practised the worst kind of brutalities. And now it's going to be up to us and the Europeans."

McCain said he thinks the opposition forces can ultimately succeed in setting up a new government, aided by revenues from oil. He said he believes it is a "matter of hours, if not days" before Gaddafi falls.
