unless the U.S. runs out of ink and paper, I have no idea how U.S. debt, owed in U.S. currency, can be anything other than AAA.

Which would lead to inflation, which our creditors won't like very much.

doesnt matter in terms of credit rating...all the debt is is a promise to pay in US dollars...it's the dollar's stability that is really in question, but questioning the rating of US debt owed in US dollars is really dumb
