The United States faces a possible war with Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions and a "period of confrontation" with China over its currency, a top US lawmaker warned Saturday.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said his fellow conservative, fresh from their historic elections romp this week, support "bold" action to deal with Iran.

If President Barack Obama "decides to be tough with Iran beyond sanctions, I think he is going to feel a lot of Republican support for the idea that we cannot let Iran develop a nuclear weapon," he told the Halifax International Security Forum.

1. STFU Graham

Your party did not win the Senate. No more fucking war!

[Drale]

2. So how long before the rest of the world

steps in to stop the warmongering right wing? I for one would love to see Karl Rove, Dick Chaney and George Bush on trial at the international court.

[LaurenG]

3. Another war Senator?

we all know how the last 1000 wars ended. How about you think outside the box this time. :eyes:

[ananda]

4. The right desperately needs a war and a poverty draft.

You can guess why.

5. I called it! (sorta...)

6. "Feel Republican Support"

and lose all Democratic support.

What's does this BS "feel support" mean in the first place?

The only thing the GOP wants this POTUS to feel is their hate on a daily basis.

7. Graham would not want to go to war with Iran if he had any idea what the Iran-Iraq War was like.

The first and second Iraq wars were nothing, nothing, compared to that carnage and horror show where the Reagan-Bush Administration secretly armed both sides with conventional and chemical weapons.

8. self delete

9. I have an idea.

Lets just send Graham and all the others who want another war in Iran over there to fight that war! Also we can send all the people in this country that support another war over there also. If the right wants a war let them go over and fight a "ground" war on their own. Put "their" boots on the ground!

10. I want a new rule in place (call it the "Iraq Rule"):

Any congresscritter, church leader, media hack, or billionaire banging the drum for war should have to serve on the front lines

[JoePhilly]

11. Their kids first, then neices and nephews.

[Blue_Tires]

15. and no rotating deployment, either

if they want the war so badly, then they stay in it for as long as it takes...


Honestly; if this one rule was in place, would humanity ever fight another war??

[JoePhilly]

17. That's why I support the draft, but only with NO exemptions ...

We go to war ... EVERY BODIES' kids GO.

I want to see the Bush twins and Cheney's daughters driving Humvees, to bring supplies to the front.

[leveymg]

13. I'll even pack Lindsey's parachute, myself so he can be the first one in. Geronimo!

[Arkana]

12. Obama: "Yeah, no."

[deacon]

14. That party is lather, rinse, repeat. Everything is predictable. They get everything wrong. n/t

[Stargazer99]

16. the way to get this crap stopped is to make the wealthy pay

for their wars, and send their kids to the front lines. It is damned easy to tell others what to do as long as you don't suffer the results.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

18. Well there's one more reason to dump DADT

So Lindsey can suit up and go lead the assault on Iran & China himself, if he really thinks there should be one.

[Aviation Pro]

19. Hey, pickle dick......

...WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE FUCKING JOBS, ASSCLOWN?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Is Graham tired of being outdone by his counterpart Demint?

That's the only reason he'd propose something so batshit crazy.

[OHdem10]

21. GOP gotta keep wars going hoping to keep people distracted

from the sorry conditions at home. We cannot
afford to help you American people, these wars you know.

[usregimechange]

22. War machine needs feed

[the redcoat]

23. War with Iran? Well, I guess that's one way to eliminate the deficit. Oh, wait... nt
