Dear Senator McCain,
How are you able to securely travel to Libya and meet with the insurgents there?
Does your travel and subsequent meetings mean that American ground forces were available to ensure your safety or does it mean they will soon be deployed in Libya?
In fact, what is the exact purpose or goals of your trip there?
Did President Obama approve of your mission and if so, what does he expect for results from your trip?
In addition to combat air patrols by manned American aircraft, recent news reports indicate that unmanned American drone aircraft will soon be used over Libya.
Are these to be operated and supported by Americans based in Libya, as is done in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the United States would be providing $25 million dollars in aid to the Libyan rebels, but the aid would be limited to non-lethal items.
Does this $25 million amount include these drones or their supporting equipment and / or staff?
Many people, including myself, do not think that another open-ended involvement in an ongoing Muslim civil war helps long term strategic US goals in the Middle East.
Can you please explain clearly why we are there and what finite military goals have been assigned to our fighting forces?
As an American citizen who voted for you in the last Presidential election, I find your travel to Libya to be most troubling and at this point, I have to conclude that had you been elected, your foreign policy would be as incomprehensible as the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Sincerely,
Jim K.
