Combat Fatigue at GOP Debate (RINO Lindsey Graham attacks conservatives)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 2011-06-15 | Jonathan Weisman

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota said Mr. Obama "was absolutely wrong" in his decision to intervene in Libya.

"I'd bring them home as quickly as possible," Texas Rep. Ron Paul said of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, "and I'd get them out of Iraq as well, and I wouldn't start a war in Libya, I'd quit bombing Yemen, and I'd quit bombing Pakistan. I'd start taking care of people here at home, because we could save hundreds of billions of dollars."

"I was incredibly disappointed," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said. "No one seemed to have a passion for the idea that we're fighting radical Islam and the center of that battle is Afghanistan."

Would someone from the great state of South Carolina please explain how this liberal joke continues to get elected?

The era of Lindsey is over. The ‘moderates’ need to be back-benched and muzzled. They got our party into this mess, the conservatives are in the process of saving it, and the country.

This waste of a senator wouldn’t know anything about battle or what sacrifices are being made and now being made unnecessarily. And he’s disappointed??

Graham, you wouldn’t know anything about combat if a combat boot was shoved up your as*. (which I wish someone would do)

Exactly!!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in WI, it’s all about recall. I don’t know if a U. S. Senator can be recalled, but SC has a duty to the nation to remove Graham from office. He must not be re-elected.

Shame on you, South Carolina!!

I’ve come to the conclusion that the way to fight radical Islam is to bomb the snot out of them from high altitude.

Limp-wristed Lindsey and his pal Juan McLame are Globalist stooges. If you want to know what the Globalist Agenda is just look at what these two clowns support - open borders, “Free” Trade, the police state at home, and Empire abroad. Light-in-the-loafer Lindsey and John McInsane know that their real enemies are true conservatives that believe in America so of course they hate and attack them any chance they get.

Given that Wee Lil’ Lindsey could not distinguish between an orchid and a skunk cabbage, it is no surprise that he cannot tell that we are assisting younger, aggressive, and active jihadists in displacing the older, burned out, turned jihadist.

And Mizz Lindsey, PLEASE do not analyze or discuss “passion” right now. Between Weiner’s exhibitionism and Romney’s spanking fantasies, we REALLY don’t need or want to know what slugs are crawling through your brain.

“Would someone from the great state of South Carolina please explain how this liberal joke continues to get elected?”

There was a SC party hack on here about 20 months ago who did explain it. As with Obama supporters, it is all about the jack. He brings stuff to his area, or at least to his circle in his area. Assuming the poster was telling the truth.

Don’t go there. I read him as a passive, and this might just make his day.

Yeah, I don’t care for Ms. Lindsey but he does kind of have a point. When did the Republican party start believing the War Powers Act was even legitimate and constitutional?

Gaddafi did order an American commercial airliner blown up, and had a hand in killing US service personnel in the German disco tech bombings. What’s so terrible about driving him from power with drones and air power?

And why the rush to now leave Afghanistan? The surge there has been moderately successful and our drone strikes have been devastating terrorist militants in Pakistan? Are we suddenly against that now?

And now it seems like I’m hearing some supposed conservative opposition to aggressive drone and air strikes in Yemen against al-Qaeda. Why one earth are conservatives suddenly opposing things like this? We SHOULD be killing al-Qaeda anywhere we can find them.

Either too much Ron Paul is rubbing off on the Republican party or a lot of conservatives are opposing these things because it’s Hussein in office instead of Bush.

Obama has been a complete and utter disaster as a President, but the one thing he has marginally done right is largely kept the Bush anti-terror strategy going. Actually, in some ways it could be argued Hussein has even been more aggressive than Bush in targeting al-Qaeda .

Bwaney Fwank is up to the task. He even has a nicely worn pair of soft leather pumps to use.

Wonder what you think of Mark Steyn's column here:

Steyn Online

The money excerpt:

Afghanistan? The “good war” is now “America’s longest war.” Our forces have been there longer than the Red Army was. The “hearts and minds” strategy is going so well that American troops are now being killed by the Afghans who know us best. Does being murdered by the soldiers and policemen you’ve spent years training even count as a “combat” death? Perhaps that’s why the U.S. media disdain to cover these killings: In April, at a meeting between Afghan border police and their U.S. trainers, an Afghan cop killed two American soldiers. Oh, well, wild country, once you get up near that Turkmen border. A few weeks later, back in Kabul, an Afghan military pilot killed eight American soldiers and a civilian contractor. On May 13, a NATO “mentoring team” sat down to lunch with Afghan police in Helmand when one of their protégés opened fire and killed two of them. “The actions of this individual do not reflect the overall actions of our Afghan partners,” said Maj. Gen. James B. Laster of the U.S. Marine Corps. “We remain committed to our partners and to our mission here.”

Libya? The good news is that we’ve vastly reduced the time it takes us to get quagmired. I believe the Libyan campaign is already in The Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest quagmire on record. In an inspired move, we’ve chosen to back the one Arab liberation movement incapable of knocking off the local strongman even when you lend them every NATO air force. But not to worry: President Obama, cooed an administration official to The New Yorker, is “leading from behind.” Indeed. What could be more impeccably multilateral than a coalition pantomime horse composed entirely of rear ends? Apparently it would be “illegal” to target Colonel Qaddafi, so our strategic objective is to kill him by accident. So far we’ve killed a son and a couple of grandkids. Maybe by the time you read this we’ll have added a maiden aunt or two to the trophy room. It’s not precisely clear why offing the old pock-skinned transvestite should be a priority of the U.S. right now, but let’s hope it happens soon, because otherwise there’ll be no way of telling when this “war” is “ended.”

Lindsey Graham has to be the greatest embarrassment to South Carolina in her quite distinguished history. This man is the successor to Strom Thurmond, one of the great Senators of the 20th Century, and instead of supporting Conservative Republicans, he is ever quick to try to smear them, while currying favor with the Left--as over immigration a few years back.

My thoughts, when the Senator saw fit to slander those of us who opposed his support for Teddy Kennedy's position on immigration, back in 2007: Open Letter To Lindsey Graham.

I will never understand why the people of South Carolina did not retire him in 2008!

What is your problem with this statement?

"I was incredibly disappointed," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said. "No one seemed to have a passion for the idea that we're fighting radical Islam and the center of that battle is Afghanistan."

He seems right on the money to me. Perhaps you are confused and think Graham said what Ron Paul said.
