Lindsey Graham says GOP opposed Libya mission because Obama was president

WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hailed the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi Thursday but chastised Congress for its hesitance to assist anti-Gadhafi Libyan rebels and for criticizing President Barack Obama’s use of U.S. military resources to assist in air strikes.

“I’m very disappointed in Congress,” said Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Congress took an irrational view of the War Powers Act. I guarantee you that a lot Republicans who wanted the War Power Act invoked would not have asked for it to be invoked if President Obama were not president. To me, national security should be as bipartisan as possible.”

Lindsey Graham is a putz, but the title is somewhat misleading. He said alot of Republicans. Whats a lot, 5, 10, 15? He did not say all, or a majority, so this title is, frankly, a lie.

Honestly. Is there a better reason to oppose anything he does or says? We know what he is.

They forgot a few words, he is against it because the president is a psychopathic piece of excrement..following the track record he just correctly assumes that anything the POS POTUS wants must be bad..I’d agree..fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me..

They opposed it for reasons that must be painfully obvious now.

It’s called lack of discernible national interest, ya jackwagon!

It’s called not supporting the “Arab Spring” because it will lead to rule by a bunch of Jihadis, you weak-minded little bottle sucker.

I know none of that matters to a fellow socialist.

“He’s such a little snitch!”

You should substitue a “b” for the “s” in the last word.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hailed the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi...”

Apparently the elites now approve the summary executions of unpopular leaders and functionaries during mass civil uprisings.

Perhaps they should be more cautious than to celebrate such precedents.
