Sen. Graham: Military intervention in Syria should be ‘on the table’
The Hill ^ | Sunday, June 12, 2011 | Ben Gelman

Posted on 06/12/2011 1:00:59 PM PDT by kristinn

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that it’s time to consider international intervention in Syria to avoid the further “slaughter” of people there by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.

“If it made sense to protect the Libyan people against Gadhafi, and it did because they were going to get slaughtered if we hadn’t sent NATO in when he was on the outskirts of Benghazi, the question for the world [is], have we gotten to that point in Syria,” Graham said on the CBS' "Face the Nation."

Oh Lindsey, you little twerp! Why can’t you just shut you pie-trap and go back to being a grand little bench warmer. You have been and continue to be a thorn in the Republican party (and a back stabbing knife in the backs of the Conservatives).

Can’t you just either get out of politics or go ahead and join the Democrats where you belong!

Exactly, not one more drop of the precious blood of our young men and women should be spilt on this backward ass lot of Sixth Century cretins. Just fly over their major cities, drop planeloads of frozen porkers, and let them machine gun themselves in the panic it will create.

Mister Lindsey Graham, we are hopefully recovering from a recession caused by big goverment slowly under the weight of that same goverment. We do not have the resources for the existing military adventures, much less a new one.

Let the Syrians take responsibility for their own repressive goverment, or better yet let the rest of the world deal with them. If we want to do anything to help em its got to be small scale Assassinations.

If this idiot, to include, Leibermann and McCain, had their frakin’ way, we would be militarily involved with virtually 3/4 of the nations around the world. The IDIOTs need to shut the hell up! =.=

All Congressmen in favor of this insanity should be put on the front lines with no body armor or weapons.

What table is Lindsey talking about?

Because as I see it we help develop them to be “free” while we tax and disarm our own populace over here. Hillary plays her little Marxist violin raising “carbon credit” funds via her one world marxist currency fund through the IMF, all for the destruction of America (while Obama is playing bad cop this time around, flip flopping from their campaign opposition mode, organizing America).

Touch any of these “pods” and the liberals and communist body snatchers will scream murder and end of the world.

Well, forward positioning of troops makes a lot of strategic sense as well as projecting American force in a world that increasingly needs reminders. It doesn't cost that much more to house resources abroad than at home, it's the "kinetic activities" that drain the treasury. We need to stifle those unless we really need them.

As with anyone else, those in power who promote something, should be the first to step up to the plate to defend it to show their conviction for it.
