Lindsey Graham Wants To Invade Afghanistan Again
Fits News ^ | Sep 7, 2021 | Will Folks

Posted on 09/09/2021 3:26:24 PM PDT by upchuck

One week after the “completion” of a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, American military assets are once again being touted as a means of prosecuting the “War on Terror” in this Islamic nation – which was occupied by American troops for the better part of the last two decades following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The politician offering this bizarre assessment? U.S. senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Surprised? Don’t be. Graham’s incessant warmongering has led our nation into any number of military misadventures over the years, but surely his call for a “re-invasion” of Afghanistan ranks among his dumbest ideas ever. Right?

Nonetheless, Graham insists another American invasion of Afghanistan is inevitable due to the reestablishment of a credible terrorist threat against our nation and its allies …

“We will be going back into Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria,” Graham told a stunned Stephen Sackur of BBC’s Hardtalk over the Labor Day weekend.

“Hang on … are you … you seriously think the United States will once again, in the foreseeable future, put troops back into Afghanistan?” Sackur responded, incredulously.

“We’ll have to,” Graham repeatedly said, cutting off Sackur. “Because the threat will be so large. (Afghanistan) will be a cauldron for radical Islamic behavior.”

The Babylon Bee had it right. Everyone who calls for war needs to be immediately drafted and slated for the front lines. No matter the age or physical condition.

Disingenuous title. It’s not that he wants to, he’s predicting we will.

If Taliban won’t release just one American citizen who wants to leave, we should.

He’s so brave it isn’t funny. I heard he offered to be the living figurehead on the front of the aircraft carrier ready to clash with the Chinese Communists. His Plan B is to stay behind at high class cocktail parties in the Hamptons and monitor the battles on TV between hor d’oeuvres and petits fours.

Note:
A figurehead is a carved wooden decoration found at the bow of ships, generally of a design related to the name or role of a ship.

As far as Islam is concerned the war will go on until there are only muslims.
Or no muslims.

Mad Mo made it so.
