Lindsey Graham pledges to be Trump's 'worst nightmare' on Syria if necessary
Fox News ^ | October 16 2019 | Sam Dorman

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is an outspoken supporter of the Trump administration. But on Wednesday, he fired off a series of criticisms aimed at President Trump, in response to the commander-in-chief's previous statements about the senator's foreign policy.

His comments came after the president dismissed Graham's criticism at a press conference, saying that the South Carolina senator would want the U.S. to stay in the Middle East for a "thousand years." He also claimed that Graham's constituents wanted to bring U.S. troops home rather than leave them in Syria.

Graham, considered a foreign policy hawk, has been critical of Trump's decision to pull U.S. troops from Syria and claimed the president was responsible for Kurdish deaths after Turkey's incursion into the country. Kurds worked with U.S. forces in recent efforts to beat down the Islamic State terror group in the region.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Graham is just looking for a reason to support impeachment. I don’t believe he’s so stupid that he would do so before the 2020 election, but afterwards, we’ll find out who Graham really is.

I think your right. Lindsey won’t move till he’s relected. He may get primaried if he strays to far.

We have a lot of misguided politicians who lack perspective. Sadly we’ll be left with these midgets when Trump is gone.

I don’t think any one has thought it through. Keeping US troops in perpetuity in Syria isn’t an answer.

There is nothing we can do for the Kurds that we couldn’t do for the Vietnamese.

American power has limits.

Apparently it is. Depends on what the question is.
