South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday urged Democrats to sign onto an authorization to use military force against North Korea as a precautionary measure in case Pyongyang and Washington fail to reach a diplomatic agreement during next week's summit in Singapore.
On ABC's "This Week," Graham asked his Democratic colleagues, "If diplomacy fails, will you support my efforts to authorize the use of military force as a last resort to convince North Korea and China that things are going to be different this time?"
Graham made the remarks after saying he agreed with Democrats' demands in letter to President Donald Trump that any nuclear agreement meet several standards, including requiring North Korea to denuclearize, scrap its ballistic missile program and allow robust inspections, before any easing of sanctions....

And by all means, let the democrat losers at every aspect of foreign and domestic policy, interfere with and tie the President’s hands in what authority he has to negotiate
Bingo!
Telegraphed that we wouldn't provide material support for South Vietnam, either. See how great THAT worked out.
By all means - on the eve of the summit cut the legs out from under President Trump by passing an authorization to attack North Korea. As touchy as Kim is, such a stupid stunt would blow the talks up before they even begin.
Not needed the 1950 authorizations are still in effect.

Ah, Lindsey Graham...one of the few Republicans that sux just as much as any Democrat I can think of.
Poor little Lindsey; the media has not given him much attention, so, with advice from John Mc Cain, he had to say something to get their attention.
I watched the Graham interview on Fox. I am no fan of Graham for his past behavior, but I actually got the impression he was trying to show support (real or for his own political reasons) for Trump. He was basically calling out the Dems saying it was two faced of them to tell Trump what conditions NK had to meet for a ratifiable treaty if they (Dems) were not also willing to support the President in the necessary measures should Kim not take the deal. Even from Graham it sounded smart. Am I missing something?
Graham and McCain do love war anytime anywhere.
