McCain's Libya Amnesia
In an interview on CBS News, Sen. John McCain twice cited the fact that Moammar Gadhafi has "American blood on his hands" as a reason the U.S. should try to oust the dictator.

However, Salon notes that just 18 months ago McCain "led a delegation of senators including fellow hawks Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman on a trip to visit the Libyan leader in Tripoli. Discussed during the visit was delivery of -- get this -- American military equipment to Gadhafi (a man with American blood on his hands no less)."

"None of which is to say it was wrong to pursue better relations with Libya. But it's ironic that McCain is now citing the fact that Gadhafi has 'American blood on his hands' as a reason to bomb Libya, considering McCain himself met with Gadhafi less than two years ago."
