As ambivalent as I am

About the latest "surgical strike" that won't backfire no matter what plan -- it does have the ability to bring out how much worse the nation's position could be.

Graham has been careful to distance himself from Obama, calling on the president to “up his game” and charging that Syria is “the most mismanaged situation I’ve ever seen since World War II when they were trying to to control the Nazis.”
Try not to think too hard in unpacking the logical and historical fallacies in that sentence, lest you just give up thinking in favor of drinking.

WWII? He was born after the Korean War! Heck, he was only 9 during the Tonkin Gulf lie.

I think the Graham Cracker has been reading one of Newticles' counterfactual histories and mistaking it for fact.

Beyond that postulation, it would not be the first time that a brainless conservative resorted to word salad in an attempt to comment extemporaneously on something about which he or she is hopelessly confused.

It's Reagan's legacy to America.

It's precious how the republican consultants praise Mr Graham for attempting to set our foreign policy agenda without any of the responsibility that comes with being the actual POTUS.

Miss Lindsey must have spent the last decade drunk, if he can't remember Iraq and the fact that he was cheerleading for that fustercluck from day one.
