Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has always been an enemy to peace and freedom, and a staunch advocate of unholy aggressive war. He is unwavering in his position, and has no regard for the lives of innocents who happen to be in the path of U.S. hegemonic imperialism.
He has been at the front of the line in his support for a military attack on Syria, with the expressed goal of regime change. He supported Obama totally in any effort to bomb Syria, an effort that would have led to the deaths of thousands of innocent Syrian civilians and worse. He was very unhappy that authorization from Congress was sought. Whether Congress gave authorization or not, any attack on Syria by the U.S. would have been immoral and an abomination.
Since he couldn’t get his way in his effort to slaughter more innocents in the Middle East, he now has taken a different path. He is using the so-called inaction in Syria by U.S. forces to argue for a resolution authorizing full scale war against Iran.
His insane argument rests on the premise that since the U.S. was weak in dealing with Syria, then Iran will feel more emboldened to go forward with its alleged “nuclear weapons program.” These are the rantings of a desperate man, but in this case he will most likely be joined by the company of horrendous neocons. If this piece of filth is not owned and controlled by Israeli interests, I would be very surprised.
From this article in the Washington Examiner:
“The mixed message and the debacle called Syria can’t be repeated when it comes to Iran,” Graham continued. “So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to get a bipartisan coalition together. We’re going to put together a use-of-force resolution allowing our country to use military force as a last resort to stop the Iranian nuclear program, to make sure they get a clear signal that all this debacle about Syria doesn’t mean we’re confused about Iran.”
After Graham repeated his intention to draft a use-of-force resolution, Huckabee stepped in to make sure everyone understood. “Lindsey, I want to clarify,” Huckabee said. “You actually are going to seek sort of a pre-emptive approval to give the president a loaded weapon so that he feels the absolute freedom and support of a bipartisan Congress to take whatever action, including military, against Iran to prevent them from having nuclear weapons?”
“That’s exactly right,” said Graham.
Iran has not aggressively attacked any country in over 300 years. Iran is no threat to the U.S., but the U.S. is a huge threat to Iran. The United States over the past century has intervened militarily or by way of full scale wars, coups, funding, training, weapons shipments, assassinations and more all over the world. Now the U.S. is in a perpetual state of war, wars prosecuted in order to line the pockets of the giant banking and corporate sectors, to steal valuable and life sustaining natural resources of other countries and to gain massive powers for the government.
There are many evil warmongers in the houses of government, but the murderous and maniacal Graham sits at the top of the heap of the worst of men. If he desires these immoral wars of aggression that takes the lives of innocents, why does he not take his family and go directly to the front lines to lay down his sorry life for what he desires most? His attitude is virtually satanic in nature, but then how could it not be given that his strongest desire in life is to kill and maim? I find it pathetic that this excuse for a man is allowed to sit in a position of power.
