Lindsey Graham Wants Another Invasion

Here we go again …

Another day, another foreign country U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) wants America to invade – using other people’s blood and your tax dollars, naturally. This time it’s Iran, which Graham wants to attack within the next four months.

“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,” Graham said earlier this week.

Really, dude? Really?

As we’ve noted on numerous previous occasions, Graham is nothing but a whore for America’s military industrial complex – which wants to waste American lives and tax dollars on conflicts all over the globe.

Never mind who that involves climbing into bed with …  or whether these conflicts have a specific national security objective or a compelling national interest. Graham doesn’t care about that – he wants us to go in guns a-blazing based on crappy intelligence and without a tactical objective or exit strategy.

Because, you know, that’s worked out so well for our country …

Not surprisingly, Graham’s ill-advised war-mongering has little to do with geopolitics and a lot to do with his forthcoming Republican primary battle in South Carolina.

“Taking a strong-arm approach to Iran right now — after the country elected a moderate President who may or may not want to cooperate with U.S. nuclear negotiations — seems like a pretty terrible idea,” writes Connor Simpson of The Atlantic. “But Graham already knows that. This bill, which will never amount to much of anything, is merely an item for his 2014 resume.”

Exactly …

And Graham needs to appear “strong-armed” given the fact he’s got a serious problem on the military front – most notably the fact he flat out lied about being a “Gulf War Veteran” during his early years in Washington, D.C.

Enough is enough, “Miss Lindsey.” If you want to invade Iran (or Pakistan, Syria, Libya, etc.) you and your fellow fiscally liberal warmonger John McCain can do it your damn selves. With your own money.

Then you can actually be the war veteran you once claimed to be …

UPDATE: Here’s another interesting take on Graham’s warmongering …

Lindsey is spoiling for a fight so damn bad, why not give him a rifle and parachute his ass into Tehran? He can fight all he wants to and if he kicks their ass, he will be a national hero and I’ll even go to his award ceremonies and applaud him.

The story says he will introduce legislation to “authorize” the use of military force. A big difference between authorization and actual usage. For anyone who has ever been in close proximity to a Navy locale which houses nuclear weapons would know, behind the grim faced Marine holding a locked and loaded M-16 is a sign that states that use of deadly force has been authorized. The Marine will not have to call anyone and ask “Mother may I”. The message is very clear.

Absolutely correct! On an aircraft carrier at sea, whenever nuclear-tipped weapons were to be available for loading, the Plan of the Day alerted everyone that to touch or cross the rope barrier would result in death from the Marine guard. We Navy guys respected that. This was not even on any combat military mission. The Marine never turned his head (we knew he had eyes in the back of his head – so we were told) but we would watch him from a distance and could tell that he sensed everything around and behind him. Also, I was a poor swimmer and didn’t want my ass blasted into the ocean because of someone’s stupidity!

There is an interesting tale, very possibly apocryphal, about the lone Marine who nearly shot an admiral on a gangplank to a nuclear sub that was being refitted at Charleston.

and that tale would be? Two problems at the onset. Marines don’t stand topside watches. Sailors do. Secondly, Admirals were rather scarce at the locale and situation you mention. If one was arriving he would have had an entourage.

“Marines don’t stand topside watches. Sailors do.”

Even if nuclear weapons are still aboard?

But as I say, it could be apocryphal (i.e., “of considerable stature”).

The story i heard was it was either Adm. Rickover or General LeMay tried to breeze through a check point using the “they must know who we are philosophy. … after they had proceeded several yards down the road the marines fired warning shots.
They then turned around and chewed out the marines for poor marksmanship!

Agreed. Ms. Graham and Nikki will be reelected. You could put a dead ficus tree on the ballot as a Republican and it would win. This is a one party state and it’s run like a one party state – with rampant corruption and incompetence. It’s like Zimbabwe with less murder and more DUIs.

EJB July 25, 2013 at 12:33 pm

I’m going to agree that this is a one party state but that party isn’t Republican or Democrat, it’s the Cockroach party. We have Democrats dressed up like Republicans to run for office in counties like Lexington, in Richland County the Democrats live out in the open and they all work with the corrupt Republicans to keep their trough full. It is by no means a guarantee that Haley will win in 2014, it depends on how the Cockroach party positions itself. Haley won in 2010 by less than 60K votes, if 30K had voted the other way Sheheen would now be the figurehead. He has at least an even chance this time. Watch the cockroaches and when you see them line up you will know who the next Governor will be. That’s why it is important to get involved at the precinct and county levels, this is the only way to marginalize these cockroaches and get decent people to run (with a chance of winning).

Years ago some familiar person (for some reason I think it was Carl Sagan, perhaps by the “nuclear winter” connection) claimed that Reagan had publically called for the invasion of 19 nations over his years as media commentator and candidate.
Maybe Lindsey thinks it’s a GOP tradition.
