The new "Conservative" House hasn't even been sworn in yet, and Lindsay Graham is already calling for a strike on Iran.

He is a member of Armed Services Commmittee.

Get ready. This is the new drumbeat. Can we let this happen? Iran is so much larger and more powerful than Iraq. It wou;d mean our economic death knell.

1. It's been on the wind for a long time...

David Broder just made it fashionable again...this time to save the economy.

Infrastructure vs War. War vs Infrastructure. I'm pretty sure that these options aren't strictly speaking equivalencies, but I wonder what pundit will have a dime dropped on their program if they point that out?

2. Did Lindsay say he'd personally takes up arms? I don't see it

happening. Lindsay is an idiot.

12. He is in the reserves, so theoretically could be sent over

but it would never happen and he knows it

[snappyturtle]

13. I think he should be ordered to report....first thing tomorrow! nt

3. I can already tell you that this war would be a massive loss.

But the Republicans already know that and don't care. :(

4. Not like he'd have to fight the war or suffer from it. :/

On an unrelated note, is the comment section of huffington post a bit screwy, or is it just me? It seems as if it pagination code doesn't take into account reply posts correctly. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

5. It's certainly not a surprise. They are picking up right where they left off. n/t

7. More than economic.

I think other nations might step in militarily.

I don't like thinking that.

8. Funny how nobody campaigned to start a war with Iran . . . .

9. Take your money back

11. Many of Our Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan

Were in junior high when the Neo-Conservatives began their campaign to get us into the Iraq conflict.

They were undoubtedly not aware of the political campaign that advocated these wars. But they pay the price.
