Lindsey Graham Wants Attack on Iran by October
Senator Lindsey Graham has vowed to introduce legislation in September or October to authorize a military attack on Iran.
“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 told a “cheering” audience at a meeting of the Christians United for Israel organization.
“The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out,” he added.
Graham made the threat despite the fact that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be replaced by Hasan Rouhani on August 4th, who is seen by many as a more moderate leader.
“The U.S. is no position to further extend its presence overseas, especially since Congress approved Obama’s initiative to support Syrian rebels by sending arms, ammunition, and perhaps anti-tank weaponry,” reports PolicyMic. “The U.S. is already indirectly dedicating resources to opposing Iran since they are supporting al-Assad’s forces, along with aid from Hezbollah. Potentially, if Graham’s initiative passes through Congress, both nations could end up preemptively clashing on Syria’s battleground. This would be a terrible outcome for the U.S., considering the significant amount of manpower and resources already allocated abroad and pressing economic issues at home.”
Political observers have often wondered why Lindsey Graham seems to side with the military-industrial complex and the political establishment on virtually every issue, from warmongering, to immigration, to eviscerating the bill of rights. He is accused by many of being a RINO, a Republican in name only, constantly siding with the Democratic Party on key issues despite being a Republican.
Many have alleged that Graham’s unrivaled capacity for being a water carrier for the establishment stems from him being blackmailed over his sexuality.
Having never been married, the Senator has been dogged by rumors that he is homosexual since he first ran for Congress in the mid 90′s.
In 2010, gay rights activist Mike Rogers claimed he had “pictures of a man who spent the night” with Graham. South Carolina Democratic candidate for Congress Linda Ketner also claimed Graham was “in the closet” but later had to apologize.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) head William Gheen has repeatedly called for Graham to admit that he is gay, telling a crowd in 2010, “You need to come forward and tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality.”
Back in May, liberal website AmericaBlog said it was “time to finally out Senator Lindsey Graham,” labeling him a “closet homosexual”.
If Graham were a private citizen his sexuality would be his own business, but the fact that he is a prominent Senator has caused many to question whether Graham is being politically pressured in order to avoid damaging revelations about his sex life being made public.

RepubliCONS never saw a potential WAR that they did not like……..
They complain about deficits, they complain about American involvement over seas but then rush to WAR……. It is all about the PROFITS of the military industrial complex. WAR means PROFITS for some businesses.

What an idiotic article. That moron supports war and other pro-corporate actions, because he is , supposedly, a closet gay?! I mean wth? The US war-machine needs to blackmail its gov’t puppets with crap like this, like its 1880 or something??? I mean ffs, there IS no shortage of corrupt and pliable hetro-sexual politicians perfectly happy to support war in the US. Hell, its part of the job description down there. Even if were gay, so what? Hes still a idiot, and a war-mongering idiot at that. Honestly though, stuff like this makes info-wars look fairly stupid themselves.
Clearly Infowars does not know how their own system operates. War-mongers, are awarded govt positions BY the war-machine. If your an anti-war politician, in the US. You get either ignored, or not awarded important govt positions. Your sex life, or lack of it, hardly enters into it.

Someone tell him to suit up then, and get ready for combat. Iran would fuck him in the ass just like he likes it.

The republicans get crazier every day.

“The republicans get crazier every day.”
Thank God, Obama is in charge.lol
Seriously, Lindsey Graham is the worst politician in Washington and McCain second, although it is a close call. Next comes the zionist mob.
Btw, what did Graham’s mother think giving her son a girlie name? That’s asking for trouble.

I’m one of the most liberal people out there, the exception are guns, which i’m moderate on, anyways, even though i’m extremely liberal and utterly HATE Bush for invading Iraq for “WMDs”, I do believe a war to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons is justified and a fair option, do we really want another North Korea? The spread of Nuclear weapons must be stopped. The only reason they haven’t been used since 1945 is due to the fact that every country that owns them is kept in check by their adversaries, 4 NATO members that have them vs Russia and China, and India vs Pakistan, and although Israel probably has them, Iran is crazy enough to use them on anyone of their neighbors.

Iran crazy? By what measure? They have not attacked another country for ages. Cannot be said of the US, UK and Israel.

I am not sure what ‘extremely liberal’ is supposed to mean. Is it one of those vague meaningless labels amerikans hang on one another in order to make it easier to tell who to sling the mud at? It certainly has nothing to do with how right or wrong it is to attack another nation. And clearly, that ‘extreme liberalness’ you profess to has done little to inform you that the ‘Iran has a nuke’ lie is just as big a lie as the ‘Iraq has WMD’ lie. In fact, they are both the same set of lie, told by the same set of people.
So your liberal attitude+moderate on guns,whateverthefookthatsupposedto mean have apparently done nothing to temper the infamous amerikan bloodlust for killing people that have done you no harm, based on lies that have been soundly refuted.
Why not just say, hey, I was against bombing those Iraqi people, but Im all for bombing those Iranian and Korean folks. Then you can skip the irrleveant imaflamingliberal spiel?
GregT on Fri, 26th Jul 2013 5:38 am
It is a good thing that you are moderate on guns, stock up now, you’re probably going to need them.
You HATE Bush, for invading Iraq for having “WMDs”? Yet you advocate a war on Iran because they might get “WMDs”? WTF?
What has North Korea done to you lately, that you do not want another North Korea? If you want to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, step up to the plate, and tell your government to get rid of yours. The only country that has ever used them, twice, is the US of A.
Iran is not the “crazy” country here, they are doing a good job of leaving everyone else alone. The last time that Iran invaded another country was in the 1700s.
It is mainly the US that is “crazy”. The US has been at war, for 216 years, out of the 237 years that it has been in existence.
People like you, are a huge part your country’s problem, for believing all of the bullshit propaganda that you have been fed.

This little more than political theater. Republicans in the house routinly introduce bills that pander to ther base knowing full well that there is no chance of ever getting it through the Senate and even less that it will be signed by the President. Isreal holds a special place for Republicans because an important part of their base are the christian evangelicals. These eveangelicals believe that israel is a fullfilment of Biblical prophecy and a sign of the End Times. Republicans also always have to have a foriegn enemy so they can show they are tough and strong on defence. So from a political point of view attacking Iran (verbaly at least) is just too good.
