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 Obamas 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-Assads forces, along with aid from Hezbollah. Potentially, if Grahams initiative passes through Congress, both nations could end up preemptively clashing on Syrias 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.
