In an interview on Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claimed that the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan has set the stage for “another 9/11” attack on American soil and called for President Biden’s impeachment for his handling of the crisis.
In the interview on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation,’ Graham touched on how the crisis in Afghanistan is a precursor to another 9/11 terrorist attack, explained what he would have done differently, and reinforced his position on calling for Biden’s impeachment.
When asked point-blank what he would have done differently, Graham’s course of action would have been the polar opposite to Biden’s – he would have kept troops in Afghanistan and continued working with Afghans to keep terrorist groups at bay.
“I wouldn't have withdrawn. I would have kept the counterterrorism forces on the ground,” Graham said in the segment. “When we have people on the ground working with indigenous forces, that’s the best insurance policy against another 9/11.”
Looking forward, Graham’s outlook is grim. He fears another terrorist attack on American soil and impending issues in Afghanistan for presidential administrations to come as a result of our catastrophic withdrawal.
“President Biden said that he wanted to take this – Afghanistan – off the plate for future presidents. He’s done the exact opposite. For the next 20 years, American presidents will be dealing with this catastrophe in Afghanistan. This war has not ended. We’ve entered into a new deadly chapter. Terrorists are now in charge,” Graham claimed in the interview.
“The parade of horribles are about to unfold,” Graham continued. “We’re leaving thousands of Afghan allies behind who fought bravely with us. We’re going to leave hundreds of American citizens behind. The chance of another 9/11 just went through the roof. These drone attacks will not degrade ISIS. The number of ISIS fighters have doubled. We’ve turned our back on our allies – who’s going to help us in the future? And we’ve set the conditions for another 9/11. I’ve never been more worried about an attack on our homeland than I am right now and we did not end this war.”
As we previously reported, Graham is one lawmaker who has explicitly called for Biden’s impeachment over the crisis in Afghanistan. In the interview, Graham reiterated his position.
“I think it’s dereliction of duty to leave hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines, turn them into hostages, to abandon thousands of Afghans who fought honorably along our side, to create conditions for another 9/11 that are now through the roof,” Graham stated in the interview. “I don’t think he got bad advice and took it – I think he ignored sound advice. This is Joe Biden being Joe Biden – he’s been this way for 40 years – but now he’s the Commander-in-Chief, he’s not a Senator, he’s not the vice president. These are Commander-in-Chief decisions, I think, the best you could describe them as dereliction of duty at the highest level.”
Stop saying that, Lindsey! He seems to be repeated that line every single day. Don’t put the Bee in the Bonnet!
Too many weak, off kilter minds might give that idea some thought.
How long has the FBI been working on thier terrorist attack on America??
No Geraldo says Nada...
NSS
Pfuck Lindsey Graham....how and why does he continue to be elected in SC???? Dominion machines????.....
Why do we have to keep hearing from this opportunistic butt pirate?
Graham brutalized Trump throughout his presidency, held up a constant threat of impeachment if he fired Barr or Meuller, and then he certified the election as honest and fair.
We are living in the world YOU created Linda Graham.
linda forgot to say that he would continue sending billions of dollars to Afghanistan to fund the corrupt American government via kickbacks. But I’m sure they have another plan to keep the funding rolling in.
I wonder if he will ever tie it to the stolen election.....noooooope
Linda Graham should be happy. He is an open borders guy so now we have low IQ illiterates streaming in from the south and being flown here.
He is a opportunist a traitor
Thanks, Mr. You’re-in-the-Senate-and-didn’t-do-squat-to-prevent-this...
When he’s right, he is really right.
It’s the times he’s wrong that just ruin him for me.
You set the conditions for it Lindsey. I didn’t vote to certify the bastard.
You let Biden sniff you, so shut up.
We even gave them the planes this time.
“Joe Biden is the best man God ever created”
(Spoken with tears in his eyes)
Sen. Lindsey Graham
It is idiotic to think terrorists need a place like Afghanistan to plot against us.
Absolutely correct. But that’s cool…the 9/11Museum even had to cancel their 20th anniversary commemoration because there wasn’t any money for it. Biden doesn’t care. He has his secure location, where he, Pelosi, and Obama and the gang will hang out and high-five each other on how well it’s going.
