I think John McCain is getting back at Susan Rice. She called McCain's pal Muamaar Qadhafi "delusional"

Qaddafi "delusional," unfit to lead, says Susan Rice

McCain's pledge to help Muammar Qadhafi was supported by Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins. All three are now appearing on news shows bad talking Susan Rice. 

I'm really surprised that most news organizations have not picked up the link between John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Susan Collins who once supported Qadhafi and now oppose Susan Rice. 

Leaked cable: John McCain pushed to arm Qadhafi

"A leaked U.S. diplomatic cable shows that Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain promised to help Libyan dictator Muammar Qadhafi obtain U.S. military hardware in 2009. 

The cable, released by the open information group WikiLeaks, reveals the pledge came at meeting that was attended by other prominent members of Congress, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.). 

In the meeting, Muatassim Qadhafi, the Libyan leader’s fifth son and national security adviser, requested U.S. assistance in obtaining military supplies, both lethal and non-lethal.
