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.”
linda is a first class warmonger.
Invade the WH instead, Lindsey. That’s where are biggest enemy resides, and that enemy is holding ~350M people and our nation’s economy hostge.
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.
Right behind you Lindsey. 8,000 miles, but right behind you.
Maybe this gayboy could pick up a rifle and show us how its done
What an idiot. So more Americans can die needlessly?
Actually he didn’t call for it, he just noted that
it isn’t over, certainly as far as islam is concerned.
Give him WIllard as a wingman.
I’ll pitch in $50 to send the two of them.
He can gather a bunch of his buddies & go.
Wow! A real live sissyhawk!

DId you read the article? DOn’t you know it is against the rules to read and post?
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.
Chihuahua says what?
Flimsey Grahamnesty should have been thrown out of office in 2014 after his THIRD amnesty vote.
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.
He’s been channeling McCain.
Beware the military industrial complex
