MILWAUKEE, Wis. In what appeared to be off-the-cuff remarks here at a campaign event supporting Republican Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, Sen. John McCain hit the Obama administration hard for its early response to the attacks on the U.S. mission in Libya last month.
Particularly, he fumed over the administration's early suggestion that the attacks were a spontaneous response to an inflammatory anti-Muslim video, noting U.N. ambassador Susan Rice's early talk-show account.
"Maybe in our U.N. ambassador's mind, there are people sitting around in their living rooms there that said, 'Gee, there's a hateful video there. Grab your mortar, honey! We're going to a demonstration!'" McCain said.

"They're either deliberately misinforming the American people, or they're so abysmally incompetent that they're not fit to govern," McCain said.
In his earlier remarks, McCain noted that Obama had dropped the line "al-Qaida is on the run" from his campaign stump speeches. (The president added the line back at a New Hampshire campaign stop today.)
"My friends, al-Qaida is on the run. They're on the run back," McCain said.

(36,418 posts)You've gotta have somewhere to recruit, train, and arm Sunni terrorists if you're going to overthrow those remaining Arab socialist and Shi'ia Muslim regimes. Eastern Libya has been providing the manpower for that mission for years - and all those looted Libyan antiaircraft missiles are icing on the cake -- but, you know all that perfectly well, old boy. So, quit the posturing. wink. wink. nudge, nudge.
