"There was one?"

Calling Iraq and Syria a "single battle space," Sen. Lindsey Graham said he'd place around 10,000 troops in Syria today if he were president, in order to eradicate the heart of the Islamic State group's attempted caliphate.
That call amounted to one of the most aggressive proposals by a 2016 presidential candidate regarding dealing with Syria, which has been engulfed in years of fighting between the government, rebels and Islamic militants.
In remarks before The Atlantic Council on Wednesday, Graham, R-S.C., said half-measures like arming the Kurds to fight the Islamic State group were insufficient, and name-checked two of his GOP rivals – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul – in his critique.
"Sen. Cruz often talks about, 'Just arm the Kurds.' Does anyone really believe the Kurds have the capability, the will and the desire to go and liberate Syria?" Graham asked. "The idea that the Kurds are going to go into Ramadi [in Iraq] as a ground force is not going to happen. The idea that that the Kurds could be the liberating force inside of Syria is a fantasy."(continued)

Oh, he knows about that, but his defense contractor money men want him to gin up some war talk.
“See where he called in an ally (or alter-ego) to question my bona fides? Such a typical troll tactic.”
Nobody called me in. I’m neither an ally or an alter ego.
But I want to know.
Since your name is a big tip off that your military service is huge for you, spill it.
I would not have jumped in on you, until you started denigrating the 33 years of service of another man.
Yeah, I’m going to discuss my maladies in front of seven billion people. LOL
Graham wants us to go support ISIS.
He was NEVER my brother in uniform since he wants to support people who want us dead.
Sarge, seems there are some people upset that we are mocking Lipstick Lindsey Graham for his wanting to support ISIS in Syria.
(In case anyone missed it, the Syrian “rebels” are Al-Qeada a.k.a. ISIS.)
And all they have to fall back on here is “But.. but.. graham served for 33 years!”
So what, I say, he wants to support people who want us dead...
...some ‘brother in arms’ HE is!
Ping, peruse, and laugh!
Fun starts at post 7
Dead last in the field of 15 in RCP national poll average. Behind Bobby Jindal and John Kasich! 1.3%. And going nowhere. Loser.
I’m not too worried about Lindsey. Don’t think he’ll poll anywhere above single digits except his home state.
At least Lamar had that classy plaid shirt. And not much else besides that.
Funny, I never named you. [chuckle]
Yeah, how did he know to show up?
No specific handle was mentioned.
Mighty suspicious there.
And I have no idea who truth seeker is, nor what you meant with that post about ally and alter ego.
You seem to have gone off into some fantasy world, and turned this into a very weird thread.
Since this is obviously about some past thread, which is why you keep personalizing and trolling everyone on this, I would love to know what past thread it was.
Was he an idiot then, as well? So, which side do you really think he wants to join in Syria? Here's a hint: Same side as Obama. ISIS's side. Muslim brotherhood, Arab Spring and all that.
Go away nancy...
Lol, riiiight.
Personalizing, like you tried to do?
Sorry
;)
Grab a rifle and lead the troops, Lindsey.
"There was one?"
Well, so did McCain.
