WTF?

Senator John McCain of Arizona and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, both Republicans, released a statement Sunday congratulating the Libyan people on the “end” of the Qaddafi regime. The statement also criticized the United States for not doing more to help.

This achievement was made possible first and foremost by the struggle and sacrifice of countless Libyans, whose courage and perseverance we applaud. We also commend our British, French, and other allies, as well as our Arab partners, especially Qatar and the UAE, for their leadership in this conflict. Americans can be proud of the role our country has played in helping to defeat Qaddafi, but we regret that this success was so long in coming due to the failure of the United States to employ the full weight of our airpower.

Whose apologizing now?
