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."

“Lovable Lindey” should resign and lead the troops himself, make sure the job gets done right!
Sadly, the “Republican” people of AZ and SC lack the ability to understand the poster.
Is he stupid or insane? There cant be no other answer.
We are fighting or lending support to four other “wars” and he wants to add to the list.
Endless war mean a end to the Republic.
Right. World War II has been over for 66 years. Time to bring the boys home.
Twinkle toes never saw a chance for war he did not love. We should send him and McLame in as the tip of the spear.
They are going to overwhelm and collapse our miltary.
Hey Lindsey, it’s “CUBA” that should be on the table (it’s only 90 miles away). That country has caused us more harm as an sworn enemy of the United States. in the past 50 years combined. than any country on earth!
You first Lindsey. You first
He’s a jerk. He makes the obvious point in saying “if Libya, why not Syria” which is what people said about the interventionist insanity over Libya to begin with. He seems to be “OK” with all that. We’ll just buzz from country, with our R2P caps on, throw sovereignty out the window. It’s insane. Grahamnesty needs to be “primaried” in 2014.
Actually, not too long ago there was a report that Graham was calling for an attack on Iran.
Are we perpetually at war with Oceana yet?
Will someone please explain to me why I should give a hoot about barbarians on the other side of the globe killing each other. Until then it’s not worth thinking about, let alone spending a nickel on. And it sure as he’ll ain’t worth sending one person into harms way over there.

Getting out from under the illegal intervention in Libya should be “on the table.”
We are NOT the world’s policeman.
Graham is a Weiner.
Leotard Lindsey speaks! What the heck is wrong with South Carolina?
““If it made sense to protect the Libyan people against Gadhafi....”
And if it didn’t make sense...
Does someone have graphics for Globocop yet?
You may be right. But I am totally fed up with getting dragged into these stupid spats worldwide at the whim of a president.
You forgot .38
ANOTHER war? No thanks.
