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 Obamas use of U.S. military resources to assist in air strikes.
Im 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.

I think it is an absolute shame that we have spent the blood of our young and our national treasure trying to build “democracy” in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the pretexts used by Bush were legitimate, as opposed to the bogus pretexts used by Clinton in Bosnia/Serbia/Kosovo and Obama in Libya and Uganda. If we were indeed fighting for an end to despotism we would long ago have gone after Castro, Assad, Khameni, Chavez, Kim Jong Il, and Mugabe. How hard would it be or would it have been to end any or all of these regimes? Would the price to pay have been as much as we have squandered in Iraq and Afghanistan? It seems that all we have to do lately to justify intervention is mention civilian deaths. If that is the case there are a lot of places we could do much more good than we have done recently.
This twink should learn when to zip his lips. Not to say out loud every thought that runs through his pretty little head.
