2. I thought that Rethugs were against "nation building"

Well, I guess, until we invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam and then looting.......er....I mean, "nation building" was cool for them. I suppose that if President Obama had argued for troops and money to help rebuild Libya following Ghaddafi's overthrow, the Rethugs would've given it to him right? Romney would've been out there supporting President Obama about it? As I recall, Rethugs in the House were very close to voting to pull funding for our efforts in Libya because they didn't feel that they had been consulted enough.
