Sen. Lindsey Graham: Wrong move almost ensures Israeli-Iranian war
Washington Times ^ | 09/03/2013 | David Sherfinski

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that a wrong move in Syria almost ensures a war between Israel and Iran, challenging President Obama to articulate his case for military intervention in the region and telling his congressional colleagues to come up with a plan.

“I think the American people have to understand if this war goes another year, here’s what’s likely to happen: there will be tens of thousands of al Qaeda in Syria, there will be a toppling of the King of Jordan, the last moderate voice in the region and a close ally to us and Israel — he’ll be gone in another year because of the refugee problem,” Mr. Graham said on CNN’s “New Day.” “The chemical weapons will be loose and in the hands of Hezbollah and may come our way, so … Iran is watching every move we make in Syria.”

What kind of gay logic is Linda Graham using here? Let's see, Iran and Russia have pledged their military support for Assad in Syria. Assad wants to strike Israel, which would make other Muslim countries more happy to support Assad. Nevertheless, Graham contends that if Obummer strikes Syria that will make Iran and Israel more peaceful to each other.

——Assad wants to strike Israel, ——

Where do you get that idea...?

I serious doubt Assad wants a three front war...secular rebels, AQ / Hezzbohah , Israel....

If anything I would bet Assad is asking Israel though back channels to support him with intelligence. ...

He announced plans to strike Israel last week. Many Israelis are trying to buy gas masks right now. There’s a shortage of them.

Why is Graham’s MO an unchanging ‘do this or else’ ultimatum regardless of the subject? Immigration, budgets, etc.

He’s the rent boy who cried wolf.

Graham represents al Qaeda AND NEITHER
conservatives NOR America.

So take his traitorous BS for what it is worth.

So to Graham you need to end this war by support our enemies and the main group that continues to create havic world wide. How did that work out in Egypt and Libya Lindsey?

There is also a 100% chance that the Obama team will totally screw things.

The public hearings have shown to the American people that the Obama team is not just incompetent, they are a bunch of clowns. Kerry's testimony before Congress was a display of epic incompetence, lack of just about every skill necessary for a Sec Of State and a total absence of seriousness. In a word - he was a bad joke and a caricature of feckless diplomat

All except for Samantha Powers, our UN Ambassador, who still has not been seen or heard from.

Ordinarily, this sort of dereliction of duty would result in impeachment of her and a number of other officials including the President.

Given Samantha Powers incompetence, inexperience and just plain weirdness, people are just so relieved she is out of the picture that they are keeping their mouths shut and hoping she stays wherever she is. No doubt her current absence is to god to last, but with this crowd you take what you can get and count your blessings, meager though they be .

Crap. Launcing a couple of missiles at random targets, hoping that it discourages Assad from gassing more people is the right move that will give Iran pause?
