The article does not state the republican claimed credit for Libya
it did say
McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and panel member Graham had pressed President Barack Obama for U.S. military intervention in Libya, weeks before the U.N. Security Council voted in March to authorize military action to protect civilians and impose a no-fly zone. McCain had invoked the humanitarian disasters in Rwanda and Bosnia in the 1990s.
When other lawmakers criticized Obama for acting with limited congressional consultation, McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, defended the president.
In April, McCain traveled to Benghazi, where he called the rebels "patriots" and "heroes."
Your thread title is both misleading and false
I missed the part of the article where it says anyone is claiming credit in this visit. Can you point that out for me? Thanks
What do you think they are doing there? First GOP (minus McCain) does everything to critisize and undermine the effort in Libya, and now that the war has been won, they are the first to parade on the streets.

so mccain, grahm, and obama were all wrong
thaking out one devil, to have alqueada in charge is not smart
we should have stayed out og libya..period..it was a waste of taxpayer funds
funny how all the libs who complain about iraq, turn and champain the same thing in libya
So Op is claiming that democrats visiting Iraq and Afganistan have been caliming credit for those wars too? Afterall its really the French and british who have claim on Libya :I I see it.The results are still to be seen also.
Irrespective of party, no rep of the taxpayers has any legitimate business there.
