McCain pushes heavier U.S. involvement in Libya
Libyan opposition leaders received a major morale boost Friday as a top U.S. senator made a surprise visit to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and urged greater American involvement in the bloody campaign to oust longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
The visit from Arizona Sen. John McCain came a day after the United States said it was deploying predator drones to Libya.
McCain said the drones would increase NATO’s capability in the war-torn North African country, but not enough to make up a shortfall in assets needed to break a “significant degree of stalemate.”
