Graham needs to just take a chill pill. Obama is ruining the nations influence and leadership abroad. Nothing can be dome about it, unless Graham leads an impeachment process.

Primary this, tough guy.

Iran may eventually need attention, but pantywaists Graham and Obama, and that nasty Old McCain aren’t the guys I want engineering it.

Graham is an asses ass, but Iran is a genuine problem, and is likely to cause a Middle East nuclear war.

So on this ONE issue, and this issue ALONE, I back him. But we'd better do it soon, before Russia moves in -- OR, by diplomatic channels, get Russia to put a leash on Iran, in which THEY, RUSSIA, are responsible if Iran releases a nuke.

Either option works.

Here’s the sentiment of our elite representatives:

John Kerry: No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.

lil Linsey: We’re just the guys to do it.

Graham must be hearing voices coming from the ceiling. I would suggest someone keep a very close eye on him.

"Iran may eventually need attention..."

The time to lean on Iran passed back in 2009. Instead of running guns to the cartels in Mexico, we should have been smuggling them to the student uprisings there at the time.

Nothing good could come of ANY use of US armed forces with this president in the white house.

Yeah I’m not sure any military action on our part will do us any good in Iran. If Israel wants to target the nuke infrastructure more power to them but I think our best bet in Iran is covert.

Must be a lot of military equipment manufactured in South Carolina.

Lindsay Graham has squandered any claim he had for credibility among Republicans. This comes not only from his treacherous record domestically but from a history of international relations which reveals him to have been an indiscriminate warmonger.

The infuriating part of all this is that this blind pig has found this one peanut; he is quite correct in his assertion that Iran must be bombed if necessary to prevent them getting the bomb. The problem is that Lindsey Graham, riding postillion with John McCain, has sought to inject America into war after war in the Middle East and must now be regarded like the boy who cried wolf. Lindsey Graham has been one of the principal malefactors in diverting America's precious dwindling military resources and economic base in wars in the Middle East. He does not discriminate between those conflicts in which America has an immediate national interest and those in which he merely wants to have his way.

After Iraq, Afghanistan, the fiasco in Egypt, the fiasco in Libya, and about 10 or 15 other wars in which America is engaged but which the American people know little or nothing of, Lindsey Graham, with this kind of policy, has just about made it certain that nothing will be done to stop Iran getting the bomb. We have no money, no patience, no national consensus, and dwindling defense resources. That which should be done in Iran probably will not be done thanks in part to Lindsay.

One last word, Lindsey Graham's domestic record is so appalling that one is warranted now accusing him of opportunism and seeking this resolution. I believe he is pandering to the well-known martial spirit of patriots in South Carolina to rally his reelection chances. If so, this move ranks as one of the most cynical of the year.
