Sen. Lindsey Graham: ‘The world is literally about to blow up’
The Washington Times ^ | 1/29/14 | Jessica Chasmar

Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted President Obama for the foreign policy portion of his State of the Union address Tuesday night.

“The world is literally about to blow up,” the South Carolina Republican told Roll Call. “The world as I know was not remotely described by the president.”

“Syria is a contagion … Iraq is disintegrating. The whole region is moving toward chaos, and we’re doing nothing. We’re talking about limiting drones?” he continued.

“I hope he will leave a residual force in Afghanistan [so] they can do the job, because if he doesn’t,

Hopefully a political IED will take him out before he can supply Al Qaeda more than they already are.

That’s a good line, Senator, even with the unnecessary use of ‘literally’. I may have to borrow it. We’ll see what ‘Blow Up’ looks like it living color.

Too bad he’s been sucking his thumb on Benghazi

As much as they think they can control that, the Mid East guys see that we are wimps

It was a major international incident. They killed our embassy people

The whole region is now out of our control

Graham as the leading opposition senator is responsible for not taking care of it, NOT the democrat bullies, who we know don’t care about these things. They are stupid. Hillary is stupid

Limp-wrist Grammesty performing his best Captain Obvious impression. Thanks for the head’s up, nimrod... it’s been that way since the jug-eared, ignorant and muslim-enabling traitor has been in office.

Graham was one of the cheerleaders for getting involved in Libya in the first place. He couldn’t explain why but he wanted somebody to fight.

Gee Lindsey luv, maybe you guys shouldn’t have looked the other way when the US supplied countless billions of $$$ and weapons for the lovely peaceful “Arab Spring”. Maybe the Middle East wouldn’t be falling apart. Maybe your world wouldn’t be about to blow up either. Now, go have a heartwarming discussion about this with your “partner”. I’m sure he’s got your back!

The Senator literally doesn’t seem to know the meaning of the word ‘literally’!

Music from "Car 54 Where Are You"

"There's a knock-out in New York"
"Syria's broken out in fights"
"There's a traffic jam in Atlanta"
"That's backed up to Piedmont Heights"
"Millions have no health insurance"
"Mullahs have given no assurance"

Barack Obama where are You?

AGREE! We have been measured and found wanting. We have no street cred with them. This is just what Obama wanted all along.

Yes, I agree with Graham. Things are just running wild and Bambi is standing up there soliloquizing (in his halting, permastoned sounding voice) about totally unimportant things or about the evil of “the opposition,” meaning the GOP, not al Qaeda.

He may very well be correct but Lindseys just doing his old conservative soft-shoe right now. He’ll get right back on his compromising good foot first chance he gets.

I’m voting his ass out next November no matter what he says or does between now and then. He’s done.

Linda always acts like a conservative when primary time rolls around.

But his position on Immigration won’t “blow off jobs for South Carolinians” (sarc)
