US Senator Sees 'Confrontation' With China, War With Iran

HALIFAX, Canada(AFP) - The United States faces a possible war with Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions and a "period of confrontation" with China over its currency, a top US lawmaker warned Saturday.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said his fellow conservative, fresh from their historic elections romp this week, support "bold" action to deal with Iran.

If President Barack Obama "decides to be tough with Iran beyond sanctions, I think he is going to feel a lot of Republican support for the idea that we cannot let Iran develop a nuclear weapon," he told the Halifax International Security Forum.

"The last thing America wants is another military conflict, but the last thing the world needs is a nuclear-armed Iran... Containment is off the table."

The South Carolina Republican saw the United States going to war with the Islamic republic "not to just neutralize their nuclear program, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard, in other words neuter that regime."

These are red herrings; they really need to fix things here before even casting their eyes oversees. The US has singlehandedly built Red China into what it is; dangling them as a villain at this point is just silly.

Steve from Blues Clues could kick Lindsey’s butt. Truman Capote could do it too.

Lady Lindsey doesn't have any "fellow conservative[s]" 'cause he ain't a conservative. Unfortunately he does have a few fellow RINOs.

Oh come on. We all know Paris Hilton’s dog could win a slap fest in a gay bar.

Poor Lindsey needs a little more credit.

He couldn’t win a slap-fest in a gay bar.

Hey watch it, Farm-Boy. Just because Lindsey is a sissy doesn't necessarily mean he is gay. He may just be "sensitive." "Artistic." "Into his feelings." "Theatrical." "Dramatic." "Showing his feminine side."

After all, our very own elected POTUS throws like a girl, wears "Mom" jeans, and was seen wearing a swishy bike outfit and colorful helmet while riding a bike with no crossbar. He held hands with Pock-ee-stahny guys, too. That doesn't mean he is gay. Now does it?

That doesn’t mean he is gay.”
Ask Larry Sinclair,ask the owners of the gay bath houses in Chicago,or ask Rahm.
Just thank God that there’s no reason to think that Obama is a Muslim.

Lindsey would lose in a slap fight with Paris Hilton's dog.

We're not facing a war with Iran. We are in a war with Iran. It looks like we won the battle of Stuxnet. The questions now are whether the war will go hot and if so, will we farm it out to Israel or do it ourselves?

Lindsay left out one thing we need to do in Iran...

..."not to just neutralize their nuclear program, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard, in other words neuter that regime."

Add>>> Kill The Mullahs.

What a fool this guy Lindsey Graham is! Not sure we should listen to a panty-waist RINO wants to attack Iran.
