Graham advises Trump to ‘take out’ Iranian navy, oil refineries; hints war is imminent

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham had some tough advice for President Donald Trump on Wednesday should the Iranians make good on new threats to begin large-scale uranium enrichment and attack more tankers in the Persian Gulf — strike back against Tehran’s economic and military assets.

“My ‘red line’ is if there’s any more disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz that’s linked to Iran,” the South Carolina Republican said. “Take out their navy, bomb their refineries if there’s any more attacks on American interests.

“Go after Iran so that they’ll…feel pain,” he continued. “I’m not talking about invading Iran, I’m not talking about a land invasion. If they go back into the enrichment business at a level that would lead to a nuclear weapon, we need to sit down with Israel and other allies and come up with a way to stop it.”

NO WAR WITH IRAN!!! A simple massive raid on the Iranian military that destroys their navy and possibly a tactical nuke on their enrichment facility would be in order but Heavens!!! Not War!!!.

Exactly backwards.

In every way that it is possible to be backwards, as a matter of fact.

It’s been too long since the six day war, and the Muslims need to become terrified of them again.

Take out the Mullahs and their minions. Persians are great people now forced to live under a religious tyranny.

I suggest you read Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. Israel is not going to destroy Russia or Iran. God will. That is what the Book says, and I believe it. Simple as that.

So your assertion is that the United States is God.

I will pass on your assertion, and you pretty much just cut yourself off from every retreat from having made that assertion.

God is the protector of Israel, not the United States.
We need to stop attempting to intervene. Your response to that assertion was... to attempt to correct me by making the same point? That's your reason why you think we need to be in another war?

I don't give a crap how long you were in, what rank you were, or how long you have been out. If you want to get us tangled up in that mess you need to get your “war is a good idea just because war” ass back over there and fight this one yourself.

There is no gain in it, either for us or for Israel.

The only beneficiaries at all are the globalists twisting agendas to support their global migration, and I am not going to join you in furthering their plans.

Him and McPain didn’t get their war on Assad, and ever since then Lindsey has been looking to fulfill his Sunni-Arab-loving friend’s dying wishes.

I've had a couple of nurses of Persian heritage when going to MD Anderson for treatment. Persian women who take care of themselves are beautiful beyond belief.

No war over a drone. If they shot down a plane full of U.S. citizens, I’d say it’s warranted, but not a drone. Send a message through nonviolent means.

No!! I NEVER said the USA is God!! Good grief. There is only ONE God, in three persons, the Triune Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Where you got that comment is beyond me because I did not say that!! Try reading more closely next time.
