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.”

So the Republican Party is actually in favor of using US military resources to help overthrow Gadaffi so Libya’s resouces and military arsenal can be turned over to a bunch of AQ backed muslim “rebels”?

Well, what else can you expect from Juan McCain’s boyfriend?

In the first place, this “war” was totally illegal.

In the second place, it was completely against our national interest, and that of Western Civilization.

In the third place, he didn’t even bother to ask congress about it—unlike George Bush, who got their consent for Iraq, altough they pretended he hadn’t.

In the fourth place, it was not even clear who was running it, since Obama shuffled it off on NATO or the UN or something, it’s not clear exactly what.

And finally, as several have already noted, the Republicans have hardly uttered a squeak. Boehner wrote Obama a letter, which as far as I know was never published, and that was it.

As time goes on, and we see what happens in Libya, half-wits like Graham will understand why we’ve screwed up there, and with the rest of our democratizing Islam efforts.

No Lindsey. Many of us were opposed because we had a good idea it could lead to another even more radical Muslem state plus a huge stockpile of weapons that are now in more radical hands than before.

I’m sure the dims would welcome you with open arms. Why don’t you make us all happy!
