WASHINGTON -- Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday wouldn't rule out U.S. military action if Pakistan's intelligence agencies continue supporting terrorists who are attacking American forces.
Outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen last week accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of backing the Haqqani network, a terror group active in Afghanistan but based out of Pakistan who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and detonated a truck bomb that wounded scores of American soldiers.
Arguing that Pakistan has made a "tremendous miscalculation" in allowing the Haqqanis to operate without consequence, Graham said the U.S. won't make the same mistake with Pakistan.
"The sovereign nation of Pakistan is engaging in hostile acts against the United States and our ally Afghanistan that must cease. I will leave it up to the experts, but if the experts believe that we need to elevate our response, they will have a lot of bipartisan support on Capitol Hill," the South Carolina senator told "Fox News Sunday."

Uh, who died & left Goober in charge?
So is Lindseed running things now? LOL
Senior Republican senator on Senate Armed Services Committee.
Last time Lindsey opined on Fox on this subject he basically said we had to keep writing the Pakis checks while wringing our hands.
Looks like he’s changing his tune.
Dennis Kucinich was and is right, we are in Empire mode. Is there anyplace we will not butt our bankrupt nose into? No Kucinich fan, but right is right.
So goober is in favor of attacking a nuclear armed country? What’s he think about Iran?
Is IdiotGraham POTUS now? If not, he needs to shut his idiotic loud mouth. =.=
How bout we look the other way and let China have Pakistan as a means of paying down our debt.
McLame probably hooked his poodle back onto the leash.
Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.
Personal to Linda... How come Sen. DeMint's ping list is three times the size of yours? His is growing, yours is shrinking. Why is that?
One’s first reaction is “Sure, let’s have another war! Yeah! That’s the ticket!”
But now that you mention it, a muslim state with nukes is a very good choice.
Great, let’s attack a nuclear armed islamo crazy nation of over 100 million.
How about we just forget about bringing that geographical area of more islamo crazies into the modern world?
It’s a fool’s errand.
***Tough Pink Rino Alert***
yeah, right.
china’s going to allow this?
“Uh, who died & left Goober in charge?”
ummm Obama is still in charge
With age I have come to the realization that some things don’t change.
We have had hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and plagues in the past. We will have them in the future.
The war with militant islam has been going on about 1400 years now. It will continue in the future, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, until someone scores a complete victory.
We will not get through another 50 years without getting nuked. The Crazies have them.
How to deal with Pakistan? I don’t think they will liberalize and embrace the modern world.
Threatening to team with India to overrun Pakistan should scare the crap out of them. The Hindus have long memories of muslim atrocities.
We are tired of war. I don’t want to lose any loved ones either.
Maybe we should just drop small asteroids on our enemies until we don’t see any signs of life anymore. At least we won’t have a problem with fallout.
How about we quit borrowing and spending, which is the same as tax and spend, as the citizens pay for it in the same manner. Does that seem to put the Republicans and Democrats in the same boat? Hmmmmm, isn’t that weird that Obama rules exactly like the guy before him, with just a different personality.
