WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called Friday for a strong U.S. response to last week’s use of chemical weapons outside Damascus, urging multiple missile strikes aimed at destroying Syrian President Bashar Assad’s major military assets and rendering him largely powerless.
While Graham, in a statement with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, said the attack could be done “in a limited way, without boots on the ground,” the breadth of the two Republican senators’ suggested action would significantly increase U.S. involvement in a two-year civil war in Syria that has left 100,000 people dead and sent 1 million refugees into neighboring countries.
“The goal of military action in Syria should be to shift the balance of power on the battlefield against Assad and his forces,” the senators said. “The United States, together with our friends and allies, should take out Assad’s air power, ballistic missiles, command and control, and other significant military targets, and we should dramatically increase our efforts to train and arm moderate Syrian opposition forces.”

LOL!! Love it!
Who are those friends and allies?
The Sunni Wahhabis who run the monarchies in the Arabian peninsula and Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda have always been allied with the US in their mutual war against the Shi’ites and their allies, the Alawite dogs.

This is insanity.
Yep. This is Obamaworld and the usual republicrat stooges have their noses firmly embedded in Obama’s posterior once again failing to see where Comrade Chaos is taking us.
I’m sure having an Admiral for a daddy helped grease the wheels for him to graduate both Annapolis and flight school.
If Grahmnesty and McStain will go to Syria just before the attack I’ll agree to it. :=)
Then Linsey should go over to the nearest base, get suited up, grab some weapons and ammo and go for it.
You missed the point of my post. Krauthammer and Kristol are known neocons and they are calling for regime change in Syria. Using the same arguments that they did for Iraq:

You don’t seem to know what a neocon is, so I’ll help you out:

I thought Lindsey was a man.
Here is a man who wants to strike Syria but does not want to defent our own border. Jerk!
I suggest we give His Arrogance, Gen Dempsey, John Mc Cain and Leslie Graham M-4s and send them over as the advance wave. They will run their mouths and play with their weewees but want someone else to do their dirty work.
Graham’s an idiot. Like his hero Obama. Let’s hope S.C. pubs have enough sense to primary this douche-bag to oblivion.
The only two I’ve been hearing advocating for an attack are Grahamnesty & McNuts. What’s up with those two? (rhetorical question) If Grahamnesty or McNuts reached around to scratch their arse, they’d poke each other in the eye! Morons X 2.
Is doing both OK?
He wants it 'vicious' and 'brutal.'
And i want Lindsey Graham to jump off the George Washington Memorial bridge.
We can’t always get what we want.
overcompensation
What was Cindy’s position on it when Clinton lobbed some missiles to destroy a tent and hit a camel in the butt?
