Remember the "blame America first" crowd? - Say hello to the "thank America last" crowd.




Remember hearing about the "blame America first" crowd? Well, say hello to the "thank America last" crowd.

If McCain and Graham really want to complain about why “this success was so long in coming,” maybe they can talk more about their trip to Tripoli two years ago, when both McCain and Graham cozied up to Gaddafi, even visiting with him at the dictator’s home, discussing delivery of American military equipment to the Libyan regime. Both senators shook Gaddafi’s hand; McCain even bowed a little.

3. They didn't get the full blown war they wanted
Damn, think of all the Amurekan flag waving and stuff we could have had if we did it the "Bush way" and got ourselves another 10 year war. And that is exactly what would have happened under Prez McCain and the bimbo he would have kept in the back room........
