Lindsey Graham: It May Be Time to Work with Iran Against ISIS

A Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee says Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cannot keep his country together, and a U.S. alliance with Iran might be needed to do so.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday a U.S. partnership with longtime foe Iran makes him uncomfortable but likened it to the United States working with Josef Stalin in World War II against Adolf Hitler. He says the United States has to do what it can to keep Baghdad from falling to insurgents.

"We should have discussions with Iran to make sure they don't use this as an opportunity to seize control of parts of Iraq," Graham said. "They're in this. They're already on the ground. We need to put a red line with Iran."

Asked how, Graham replied, "You just sit down and talk with them."

It’s a trap.

Insanity. Iran is much more of a threat than those aligned more with the Saudis.

Dear ISIS: If you hurt any Americans or even get close to our embassy in Iraq, we will hit you with weapons that hurt so bad, your relatives in their graves will scream.
Now, I do hear that there’s lots of gold in Iran.

He would have a better chance of talking to a tiger not to eat him.

You can count on the Turks taking on the Kurds. They have already had incursions against them in response to cross border attacks on Turkey by the Kurds. And Iran does not want a Kurdistan either.

Not just Biden. Was surprised that jerk actually spilled the truth.

The Sunnis & Shiites hate each other. The Kurds are a total other entity. Calling them “IRAQ” is like putting red and black ants in a jar and making them fight to the death.
