Two senior Republican senators say the United States, and not Israel, should attack Iran if military action becomes "necessary." They also say a simple strike at the country's nuclear capability wouldn't be enough -- the US would have to launch an "all-or-nothing" war against Iran with the aim of crippling the country's military capabilities. "I think an Israeli attack on Iran is a nightmare for the world, because it will rally the Arab world around Iran and they're not aligned now. It's too much pressure to put on Israel," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News' Chris Wallace. He continued: "If the sanctions fail, and Iran's going down the road to get a nuclear weapon, any Sunni Arab state that could, would want a nuclear weapon. Israel will be more imperiled. The world will change dramatically for the worst. Military action should be the last resort anyone looks at, and I would rather our allies and us take military action if it's necessary." But Graham doesn't think an attack should be limited to airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. "If we use military action against Iran, we should not only go after their nuclear facilities. We should destroy their ability to make conventional war. They should have no planes that can fly and no ships that can float," said Graham. Story continues below... Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Republican of Georgia, agrees. "The problem with military action also is that you're probably not going to be able to stop the production of uranium by just a simple airstrike," Chambliss said on Fox News Sunday. "Lindsey's right. It's an all or nothing deal. And is it worth that at this point in time, when we know they have the capability? We can slow them down, but a full-out military strike is what it would take," said Chambliss.

These freakers are certifiably insane.
Well, what about the people that voted them into office???
Even more brain-dead.
Well, what about the people that voted them into office??? These senators are intelligent people --- they want to be reelected – and they will sell out American interests to do so! They way to get reelected is to sell out to the US Jews! Isn’t it time to always call a spade a spade? p.s. The Jews also control who runs and wins in the primaries. Their media outlets will trash any would-be candidate who is not 100% on board for Jewry. Jew control of our political system is total - America is locked down by its Jews.
World Jewry is the only block of people in the whole world that wants that to happen --- end of story!
The Grim Reaper; our last, best hope.
World zionists, anyway. Amen
Oh - but of course - let's plunder American Christian blood and treasure so that the "wee embattled" land-poaching international pariah thugocracy is not imperiled.... so says our America-First Senator in a squeaky voice. That makes so much sense.....Give me a break. Grog....
hey, scrap...great to see you again. missed you!
"This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec. 23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President (Woodrow Wilson) signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalised... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency Bill."--Charles Lindbergh, Sr.
I got very busy with work and family matters. I missed you and 4um, too. I'll try to drop in more frequently now than before.
