Lindsey Graham Wants War With Iran at the End of the Summer (military force resolution)
Yahoo News ^ | 7/23/13 | Connor Simpson

Posted on 07/24/2013 5:31:25 PM PDT by drewh

Sen. Lindsey Graham told a "cheering" audience Tuesday that if the relationship between the U.S. and Iran doesn't improve by the end of summer, he will ask Congress to authorize going to war.

"If nothing changes in Iran, come September, October, I will present a resolution that will authorize the use of military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb," the South Carolina Republican said, according to a post on CQ Roll Call, at a conference for members of Christians United for Israel today.

"The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out," Graham added.

Taking a strong-arm approach to Iran right now seems like a pretty terrible idea. But Graham already knows that.

This bill, is an item for his 2014 resume. He can now say he tried to act tough on national security and foreign policy, and he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those dang Democrats who stopped him.

If these politicians carry on much longer in this vein, there will be a war here.

It seems like every one of our most prominent politicians have completely lost their minds.

Some want to flood us with millions of poor illiterate illegal aliens, some want to spend us into oblivion, others want another bloody un-winnable war.

I know we deserve the government we have, but I'm wondering what it was to deserve this group of coo coos.

Iran continues to race toward a nuclear weapon, but I think we can provide military aid to Israel to help them deal with it. At the end of the day, Mossad is watching this closely, much more closely than Lindsey Gayham.

It would be sure nice to take back control of our own country and military. The plutocrats and oligarchs are sipping their martinis, pushing red, white and blue pawns all over the global chess board. Time for American taxpayers to wake up.

Ummmmm......Col Graham......the Pentagon cannot even make payroll for its own workforce.

Fix that, and then we'll talk about what wars you want to start.

Which raises the question: why raise it in the first place?

Who, exactly, is he appealing to? How does he expect to benefit?
