Graham is a real ars. The culture sites are those sites that were built to honor the terrorists. Graham can be a real jackass and should get smart.

Trump is simply saying that nothing is off the table. It’s the only politic thing to do.

Lindsey is partially right but not sure what he includes in cultural sites. Remembering the taliban, true historical sites should be off limits but most everywhere else should be fair game if there’s a bad guy there.

He’s wrong in publicizing what he warned POTUS.

The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan statues in Afghanistan and nobody said a thing. Trump simply makes a threat and they are all frothing at the mouth.

“I talked to him today. I said we’re not at war with the culture of the Iranian people. ... Cultural sites, religious sites are not lawful targets,” Graham said.

Graham should cite chapter and verse: Where, exactly, in the U.S. Criminal Code is that stated?

Regards,

I seem to remember ISIS taking out many a site, church and other places...no one said a thing as history was destroyed
