Lindsey Graham did a service for his country
today by showing how out of touch Republicans are with reality as he
tried to attack Hillary Clinton while calling for more Americans to die
in the Middle East. Graham demonstrated the deluded party wide thinking
that should be a reminder to every American why they can’t elect a
Republican to be president.
Transcript:
DICKERSON: The secretary of defense, in some blunt remarks, said Iraqi army is not really up to the task.
This has been a repeated story, so why, if you add 10,000 advisers, are you not just sending good after bad here?
GRAHAM: Well, the surge did work.
In 2011, we had security in Iraq, political
progress. If you don’t believe me, listen to President Obama in 2012.
General Keane is the guy I have been listening to, who was the architect
of the surge. If you have 10,000 Americans train and advise and assist
at the battalion level, it would help Iraqi army be tougher.
It you had a couple of aviation battalions of
American attack helicopters, you would have a distinct advantage over
ISIL in Syria, in Iraq. But you have to look at Syria and Iraq as one
battle space. We’re not doing the. We have no strategy to deal with the
Iraqi safe havens in Syria. You cannot win this war from the air.
Obama will go before Assad will go. So, this whole
policy toward degrading and destroying ISIL is miserable failure. And
when Secretary Clinton said that this country was well-positioned to
deal with the threats from ISIL, Iran, Russia, and China, she is
absolutely delusional.
We’re in a bad position against all the threats we
face, because Barack Obama has been a weak and indecisive commander in
chief. And she would be the third term of a failed presidency. We better
do something different.
…..
I will be a commander in chief on day one
who takes the fight to ISIL to literally degrade and destroy it. And
Assad will go. And it’s going to take more American troops to accomplish
that goal. But we’re not well-positioned. If Hillary Clinton thinks
we’re well-positioned as a nation, she’s disqualified herself to be
commander in chief. We’re in a terrible spot.
On foreign policy, Lindsey Graham is a blood thirsty
lunatic. Graham remarks are the perfect snapshot of the Republican
refusal to see reality. Graham has convinced himself that the troop
surge was working. He has convinced himself that terrorism was about to
be defeated as if boots on the ground can win a war of the mind.
Republicans have rewritten the history of the of the shrub years. They believe that they can use shrub’s foreign policy and
win the Middle East. This whole line of thinking is what makes the
Republican Cabal dangerous. Lindsey Graham wasn’t unhinged as in
screaming and yelling. Graham’s whole thought process was that of an
unhinged mind.
Instead
of learning from their mistakes, the Republican Cabal is eager to
repeat them. Until Republicans show some capacity for knowledge and
growth, voters would be asking for trouble if the returned the Republicans to the White House.
