Sen. Lindsey Graham to seek authorization for U.S. attack on Iran
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/18/2013 | Byron York

Posted on 09/19/2013 5:10:52 PM PDT by steelhead_trout

Sen. Lindsey Graham is one of the strongest advocates of an American military strike against the Assad regime in Syria. He was unhappy when President Obama decided to seek congressional authorization for an attack, and then unhappy when his fellow lawmakers voiced disapproval of the president's plan. Graham believes the diplomatic path chosen by the administration will lead to a debacle.

Given all that, Graham now says he will work with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a resolution authorizing the president to use military force -- not against the Syrian regime but against Iran. In an appearance on Fox News' Huckabee program over the weekend, Graham argued that such a resolution is essential, because American inaction in Syria will encourage Iran to go forward with its nuclear weapon program, eventually leading toward a Mideast conflagration if the U.S. doesn't intervene.

What is motivating him and others like McCain? Is there money involved somehow?

I'd be willing to bet they both have big dollar donors from the military equipment/supplies sector.

Yeah, now that would make sense. They figure the big donor $ will be enough to get them reelected, plus they get to stay in the good graces of their Communist-Marxist-Socialist-Democrat masters. All they have to do is $ell their $ouls.

If that happens, I will thank God, and I don't even live in South Carolina.

This is what happens when you let lawyers think they’re soldiers.

“McCain and Graham are the blunder Twins”

They can both get a room with Huck! He’s a POS of the first order.

When hard core liberal commies are in power nothing satisfies them or pleases them more than to exert their power they have and get a orgasm when they exert when they go to war.
I don't care how much their minions say how much they are for peace, no, a dictatorship kind of tyrannical leader lusts and hungers for this kind of thing, seeking war and or to oppress their people under them.

I agree, Iran needs their behind kicked in a bad way and when George Bush was president we should have, could have, would have gone in and strike Iran but now is not the time for it unless everyone including Israel was all on the same page.

1979 was the time for it. It’s been too late ever since. I don’t fault either George Bush for not going against Iran. I didn’t agree with him on just about anything else, but I’m glad Clinton stayed away from that sh*thole of a country too.

I am starting to wonder if he and McCain are suffering from syphylis and it has gone to their brains!

I hope it is. Syphilis can be cured. Stupid is forever.

Syphilis can be cured.

But paresis of the brain, where the spirochetes from syphilis enter the brain, cannot be cured. The end result is insanity, then death. FWIW, this was the fate of Al Capone...

True, curing the syphilis will not repair existing damage to the brain, but it does stop further damage. WRT Linda, I'll take what I can get.

Graham says obama doesn’t need congressional authorization to attack Syria. But he wants to give obama authorization to attack Iran. Get your shit together, Linzy.
