is this old news.. just found it:
Neocons prop up foreign regimes, then we take'em down
"Boston.com Aug 15th 2009 TRIPOLI, Libya – A delegation of US senators led by John McCain met with Libya’s leader yesterday to discuss the possible delivery of nonlethal defense equipment [think guns and bombs and stuff]. The visit and Washington’s offer of military equipment was another sign of the improving ties between the former longtime adversaries.
“We discussed the possibility of moving ahead with the provision of nonlethal defense equipment to the government of Libya,’’ McCain said during a press conference. He gave no details on the kind of military equipment Washington is offering.
The story gets even better.
At the time — Aug. 15, 2009, if you’re keeping score — McCain hedged somewhat, expressing concerns about “status of human rights and political reform in Libya.” Here’s what’s amazing: five days later, the infamous Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, landed in Tripoli to a hero’s welcome. At the time of McCain’s trip to Libya, all that legal wrangling that led to al-Megrahi’s release was transpiring. But it didn’t take the possibility of beefing up Gaddafi’s military capacity off the table.
John McCain, in favor of Gadaffi having weapons before he was against Gaddafi having weapons."
