McCain: No Fly Zone is Not Enough

Politico reports:

President Barack Obama should have moved sooner against Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday.

Earlier action, the senator said on CNN's "State of the Union," would have been more effective in weakening the grip of the controversial leader, who's deployed his forces against rebelling civilians.

"He waited too long, there is no doubt in my mind about it," McCain said of the president. "But now, it is what it is. And we need, now, to support him and the efforts that our military are going to make. And I regret that it didn't - we didn't act much more quickly, and we could have."

"If we had taken these -- this step a couple of weeks ago, a no-fly zone would probably have been enough," he said. "Now, a no-fly zone is not enough. There needs to be other efforts made."
