John McCain Slams Obama On Libya: 'Al Qaeda Is On The Run — They're On The Run Back' Read more: ht [View all]

Particularly, he fumed over the administration's early suggestion that the attacks were a spontaneous response to an inflammatory anti-Muslim video, noting U.N. ambassador Susan Rice's early talk-show account.

"Maybe in our U.N. ambassador's mind, there are people sitting around in their living rooms there that said, 'Gee, there's a hateful video there. Grab your mortar, honey! We're going to a demonstration!'" McCain said.

"They're either deliberately misinforming the American people, or they're so abysmally incompetent that they're not fit to govern," McCain said.

In his earlier remarks, McCain noted that Obama had dropped the line "al-Qaida is on the run" from his campaign stump speeches. (The president added the line back at a New Hampshire campaign stop today.)

"My friends, al-Qaida is on the run. They're on the run back," McCain said.
