Sen. John McCain is now claiming that the Libyan rebels will reimburse the US for the cost of the war. Is he really that naive? We spent 1.5 Trillion on Iraq and got nothing out of it. They have no intentions of paying us back. Will AL-Qaeda backed Libyan rebels really pay us back? McCain believes the lie!
Sen. John McCain, the highest-ranking American official to visit Libya during its current uprising, says Libyan rebels desperately want formal recognition by the United States — and might be willing to reimburse America’s costs in the military operation against strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
“They want recognition badly,” says McCain, ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, speaking by phone from Egypt after wrapping up a brief visit to the Benghazi area. “One of the reasons they want recognition so badly is, if they were recognized, it would help them get access to that $30 billion in Gadhafi assets that have been frozen. The other thing is, if they got their recognition, it would also free up other ways for them to get some short-term financial help.”
John McCain, the American public doesn’t believe this crap anymore. We were told Iraq would pay for it’s own reconstruction and we would be reimbursed. Never happened and it will not happen here.
