.- The influential Republican Senator John McCain, one of the strongest advocates in the U.S. Congress to direct military intervention in Libya, arrived in the city of Benghazi to meet with rebel leaders. The arrival of former GOP candidate for 2008 presidential election, losing to Democrat Barack Obama, agrees with the permission of sending unmanned aircraft for the international military campaign against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi.
McCain, who is expected to meet Libyan leaders of the National Transition Council, which held in Benghazi, his headquarters, said the insurgents fighting against troops loyal to Gadhafi are your 'heroes'. The Republican leader of the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate drew the international press that his trip to Benghazi Libya intends to "get a real assessment of the situation." He rejected the possibility that Islamic extremist elements or members of the Al Qaeda are within the rebel ranks Libyan reported Qatari news channel Al Jazer.
Republican's visit to the headquarters of the rebels in Benghazi is the first by a top U.S. representative to the insurgent stronghold in eastern Libya. McCain's arrival comes at a time when the harassment of the troops loyal to leader Gadhafi spoke in the town of Misrata, who has survived more than six weeks of bombing, but local people have begun to despair.
U.S. uses drone like "Predator" in Libya to attack Gadhafi troops with the approval of President Obama, announced Monday the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. However, the first two aircraft armed with Hellfire missiles capable of flying for 24 hours, yesterday went to Libya, but failed to fulfill its mission because of bad weather, said General James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
