What does John McCain mean in this quote about Mubarak? - Doug Smith - 10-03-2012 11:16 AM
(From Twitter) SenJohnMcCain: Regrettably the time has come 4 Pres. Mubarak 2 step down and relinquish power
Is he saying it is a bad thing (Implied by him choosing the word 'Regrettably) that a tyrant seems to be on his way out?
Whig Party - Biden was wrong too, but if I wanted to talk about Biden's idiotic comment I would've included it in the question

Notice that Obama is riding the fence not making any comments about the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists taking over

I don't know, someone should ask him.

Biden also said this guy wasn't a dictator. Obama cut funds to promote democracy in Egypt when the protests began. I read this on the Huffington Post. This is another dictator our politicians support for military reasons.

It's also time for John McCain to go away forever.

Gotta give him the benefit of the doubt here . He may mean that Moobarak had his chance over and over to change his ways ..

Cronies always stand up for their old boy network peers, but in this case, McCain is regretting that he will have to face the reality of his 30 years of support for Mubarak, and then have to ultimately learn to deal with the younger generation.
Essentially, McCain wants to live forever and regrets getting old. It makes him feel wistful, and hints at his own impending exit from the Senate.

Mubarak's time has come and gone. He has lost the respect of the people he governs. Senator McCain, simply stated what most people around the world think. It was a polite phase to pass on a hint.

Regrettable as in "Hasni, you screwed your people for the last time, now beat it". "Have a nice day".
