Graham very hawkish on ISIS and Assad, more troops, more Trump action

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday took perhaps the most aggressive Washington stance on the country’s simultaneous effort to defeat ISIS and solve the Syrian crisis -- calling for more U.S. troops in the terror fight and suggesting President Trump already has broad authority to order missile strikes on Syria.

The South Carolina Republican and military hawk is calling for as many as 6,000 more U.S. troops to help defeat the Islamic State terror group in the Middle East.

“You need more American troops to accelerate (ISIS’) demise,” Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “You train the opposition to go after [Syrian President Bashar] Assad. That's how he's taken out by his own people, with our efforts.”

I remain completely mystified as to how this guy (?) keeps getting elected by the good folks in South Carolina.

My brother-in-law explains it as a Low Country vs Upstate divide.

He brings in the pork to SC. Guess that counts for something.

Real easy for Goober to bang the drums of war since the only guns he's ever heard fired in anger from the safety of his cubicle in the Base JAG office was at the rifle qualifying range.

Well said.  The Kurds, Iraqis and SDF need to do most of the fighting.
