Lindsey Graham Wants War With Iran at the End of the Summer (military force resolution)
Yahoo News ^ | 7/23/13 | Connor Simpson

Posted on 07/24/2013 5:31:25 PM PDT by drewh

Sen. Lindsey Graham told a "cheering" audience Tuesday that if the relationship between the U.S. and Iran doesn't improve by the end of summer, he will ask Congress to authorize going to war.

"If nothing changes in Iran, come September, October, I will present a resolution that will authorize the use of military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb," the South Carolina Republican said, according to a post on CQ Roll Call, at a conference for members of Christians United for Israel today.

"The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out," Graham added.

Taking a strong-arm approach to Iran right now seems like a pretty terrible idea. But Graham already knows that.

This bill, is an item for his 2014 resume. He can now say he tried to act tough on national security and foreign policy, and he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those dang Democrats who stopped him.

I think “men” like Lindsey should raise funds in the private sector and use those funds for a private action against Iran. People are in no mood for another war and the debt and taxes that a war will produce.

Lindsey ought to get out ahead on the issue and lead the troops himself! Show them how it’s done, and SC will be so proud again.

Israel is the strongest military force in the region. It has nukes. We are broke. We have no business sending any country any money.

South Carolina has long been a bastion of traditional Conservative American values. Let me acknowledge that before stating that Lindsey Graham is the epitome of what is wrong with the Republican Party, today. He embraces one crack-pot idea, after another. Here he is champing at the bit to get us into another War on the other side of the world. Last spring, he was once again championing an immigration bill that would radically alter the ethnic composition of America, by among other things, legalizing the presence of over 11,000,000 scoff-laws, who have no interest in preserving the heritage of those who founded America, as we have known it.

Here is how I responded to Lindsey Graham's insulting remarks in 2007: Response To Senator Graham. The man was contemptible then. He remains contemptible now. He will not defend the heritage of his people. He is willing to get Americans killed in trying to police the opposite side of the world, where we are less the real party in interest than a host of other nations. He is obviously indifferent to the wise admonitions of the Founding Fathers, for he not only ignores those admonitions--from Washington & Jefferson, in particular;--but does not even show sufficient familiarity to the issues they raised, to even offer intellectually responsive reasons for his idiotic comments. If he is not merely a fawning dolt, that is the least we should have expected!

I hope that none of my Carolina friends will take offense; but their Senior U.S. Senator is a disgrace.
