Sen. John McCain praised Libya's rebels Friday as he arrived in the opposition stronghold of Benghazi and the top U.S. military officer warned the fighting was heading for "stalemate."
McCain, one of the strongest proponents in Congress of the U.S. military intervention in Libya, said he planned to meet with the rebel National Transition Council, the de-facto government in the eastern half of the country, and members of the rebel military.
