Here's a nice summary of the Pills Limpballs Party of No's reaction to the piracy off the Somali coast, and why the right-wingers were hoping for an American failure: so they could taunt Obama as "weak on national security." Ideology over country: works every time. All they have now is to hope that things go badly wrong: the economy, terrorism, etc. True patriots!!
Well, that didn't work out so well for the anti-American wingnuts, did it?
