#2 Lindsey is playing an important role in this effort. The Iranian leadership know Trump is the only thing between boots on the ground and total destruction and a peaceful ending. Trump is holding the leash on the dogs of war. At least that is how the world see's it.

#3 I think Graham is a Democrat in sheep's clothing, working to undermine whoever's trying to actually get stuff done with unhelpful statements. Like suggesting trench warfare.

#4 Why boots on the ground - all Israel needs is some bunker busters?

#5 Unless we intend to disperse the population and keep it forever, no.

#6 ^Blowing Bushehr reactor could contaminate a considerable piece of ground - just saying.

#7 No need for U.S. boots on the ground. Just give us some bunker penetrators and we will take care of Fordo.

#8 Interesting that Al Udeid looks empty these days

#9 The quote I heard in another interview was that he qualified US involvement if diplomacy didn't work.

#10 I'd like to see Lindsey's ass on the ground in Iran.

#11 I don't think it matters whether Lindsey calls himself a Republican or a Democrat. All you need to know is that he's a globalist war monger.

#12 The less I hear from him the better.

#13 Long past fucking time.
I has been clear since 1979 that the only thing that will cure the Iran disease is a full Iraq-style regime change operation.
The "Iranian people will overthrow them" idea looks like it's failing. If it was going to work, I'm pretty sure it would be working by now.
Hell, we have more riots and violent opposition to government in America than there is in Iran.
Netanyahu was on Fox a few days ago and he confirmed that Iran will have ICBMs that can hit the East Coast soon.
He also confirmed that Iran was behind the assassination attempt on Trump.
What else do we need?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

#14 He also confirmed that Iran was behind the assassination attempt on Trump

Not true. He said Iran was behind plots to assassinate Trump. Jingoistic blather only goes so far, Mr. Boots on Ground.

#15 Two Chinese EW ships 855 and 815A reported currently in the Persian Gulf. Everybody is coming to the party!

#17 I thought it was bad enough when Fox (usually that windbag Hannity) would trot out Mitch McConnell, but to bring out this dikk wad Graham is simply disgusting.

BTW, I'm still waiting for the indictments against Graham and others on how fat their asset side of the ledger got for supporting their neocon/uniparty pet projects.
