South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday a U.S. partnership with longtime foe Iran makes him uncomfortable but likened it to the United States working with Josef Stalin in World War II against Adolf Hitler. He says the United States has to do what it can to keep Baghdad from falling to insurgents.
An al-Qaeda splinter group surprised Western intelligence organizations last week and took control of major Iraqi cities. Iran says it has no interest in a destabilized Iraq as its neighbor.
Graham spoke to CNN’s “State of the Union” and CBS’ “Face the Nation.
Haven’t we been down this dangerous road before. With the likes of Bin Laden. Iran is the biggest threat in the world.
Not good. We should praise HaShem for not allowing the Republicans to hold the White House today as Graham is one of their leading lights (darks?) on national security.
