Sen. Lindsey Graham told a "cheering" audience Tuesday that if the relationship between the U.S. and Iran doesn't improve by the end of summer, he will ask Congress to authorize going to war. The idea is silly because obviously it'll never happen, and it's probably a ploy for re-election. "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," the South Carolina Republican said, according to a post on CQ Roll Call, which was picked up by Think Progress, at a conference for members of Christians United for Israel today. "The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out," Graham added. 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. But Graham already knows that. This bill, which will never amount to much of anything, is merely an item for his 2014 resume. He can now say he tried to act tough on national security and foreign policy, and he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids dang Democrats who stopped him. Poster Comment: Linthey Graham must be the biggest faggot on Earth to jump as high for Israel as he does, they've got the goods on this perv and jerk his strings at least once a week.

I guess he don't care much how many aircraft carriers end up at the bottom of the ocean or how many US servicemen will die as a result of Miss Graham's perverse dreams of death and destruction.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Does anyone really GAS what that little queer wants? I know that if all I had to worry about was what Lady Lindthey wanted I could sleep quite peacefully every night until my time here is up. But we better take up money for McCain a gun and parachute too. You know he will want to go help Lady Lindthey. Maybe for the Kenyan too, that empty suit keeps on pushing for wars against folks who have done nothing to us. Hey traitor! We'll take up a collection to buy you a gun and a parachute.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

Another war against Muslims right now would probably be ruinous. Just about every Muslim country, and I would think that especially Iran, has hundreds or thousands of veterans of combat against the US and even more who want to join that combat. If Dame Graham thinks that preventing another country, particularly a hostile country, from developing nukes is good reason to go to war, then I suggest that North Korea is way overdue. We are already in a state of war with NK, suspended only by the armistice of 1952. Not only is NK clearly and by its own admission intending to get nukes, it has already threatened our allies in the region and threatened us as well. And, even if NK doesn't use the nukes themselves, it is so very desperate economically that it would sell the nukes it makes to the highest bidder - even non-countries like Al-Qaeda or the drug cartels.

Recall that Ahmadinejad said, "The nation of Israel is illegitimate and needs to be removed from the face of time." Do we understand what he is saying here? ;)

Is there any proof whatsoever that Iran is developing a nuclear bomb? I think not. Graham is simply stirring the pot and sticking his finger into the winds of war. ;) "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," the South Carolina Republican said,

Can we expedite Grahams fact-finding mission by using a giant Iraq based trebuchet? I'll kick in $200 for concrete weights.

Actually that is close to what Ahmadinejad actually said. He was widely misinterpreted (intentionally for propaganda purposes) and then the misquotation was used heavily by the paid whores of the lamestream media. What he actually said, when not using a false translation, was a quotation of an earlier comment by the Ayohtollah Khomeini which stated that Israel should vanish from the page of time. He was expressing a wish that the regime occupying Jerusalem should fall, as had the Shah, and vanish as though it had never been. The NY Slimes was later forced to retract their misquotation, the BBC acknowledged they had used a misquotation but never issued a retraction, and various and sundry propaganda outlets continued using the false translation. Recall that Ahmadinejad said, "The nation of Israel is illegitimate and needs to be removed from the face of time."

His need to be the first boots hitting the ground in Iran. Frickin' Chickin' Hawk. I always find it interesting that the most bellicose slimeballs in CONgress, such as Lady Lindthey, are always willing to put somebody else's life on the line to support their psychotic bluster. And the more bellicose they are the less likely they are to have actually "walked the walk". We'll take up a collection to buy you a gun and a parachute.

A better question is how do you get them there in the first place? Cats ain't stoopid - unlike that loud mouthed blustering moron Lindthey Graham. How do you get a cat off a hot tin roof?
