While the left has its problems, I also have problems with the right. The right want others to live according to the principles that they hold. The right does not know how to pick their battles. I think we need to focus our energies in condemning China and forcing them to bend to our laws and regulations if they want to sell into our markets such as the lead toys, heparin issue etc. But what they do in their country is their business as long as their people don't revolt against their Govt and have an uprising along the lines of Egypt, Syria, Libya etc.

McCain and Mitch McConnell were one of the few Republicans who supported Obama's decision to involve the US in Libya. Indeed, McCain did argue for greater involvement. The chutzpah remark was not directed at McCain.

The article referred to "Some Republicans in Congress" - in the plural - who remarked that greater US involvement would have brought down Gadhafi sooner. McCain was the only Republican mentioned, as McConnell deferred to McCain on the issue. I am unaware of any other Republican encouraging greater military involvement in Libya, so the chutzpah remark is directed to the Monday morning quarterbacks, whoever they are.

McCain who was one of the supporters from the onset of greater military involvement asked a fair question...I do not see Chutzpah in the question.
