During the Fox News Channel’s coverage of President Trump’s Afghanistan speech, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised President Trump’s Afghanistan policy announcement and warned members of Congress that the next 9/11 will be their fault if they vote the policy down.
Graham predicted that Trump’s proposal will receive a lot of bipartisan support in Congress. He continued, “I’m proud. I’m relieved. I’m proud of the fact that President Trump made a national security decision, not a political decision. … I’m relieved he did not take the advice to withdraw, which would have been disastrous or create a mercenary army.”
Graham later added, “I am very pleased with this plan, and I am very proud of my president.”
He also praised President Trump for delegating to the generals and stated that President Obama “was a lousy general.” Graham also expressed support for moving away from a timetable-based policy to one based on conditions on the ground.
Graham also took issue with Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) statement on Afghanistan. Graham stated that he thinks Rand is a worse general than Obama and that Rand has “been wrong about everything in this war. It’s that kind of thinking that got us into 9/11.” Graham continued that on September 10, 2001, the US was trying the Rand Paul policy because it didn’t have any troops in Afghanistan, an embassy, or any aid going to Afghanistan.
He also stated that he doesn’t think Congress has to vote on the new Afghanistan strategy, but will vote on it and will push to pass the new strategy.
Graham concluded by warning his colleagues in Congress, “You will own a no vote. The next 9/11 will be your fault, not President Trump’s fault, if you shoot down this plan.”

Lindsey Graham is a war mongering hack. Another clown in the Washington circus.
Trump has truly crossed over to the stupid.
No…!
the US Nationals will pay for the fall out and outcome of another 9-11 as we did on the last one and still are to this day , and besides all that, we know it wasn’t Afghanistan and that they arnt the problem,, its people like Graham and all the other little pukes in our government that are the problem along with their inside jobs
“Lindsey Graham: ‘I Am Very Pleased’ With Afghanistan Plan – If Congress Votes It Down, They’ll Own the Next 9/11”
Translation: “I am licking my chops at the thought of the profit the military industrial complex will reap from this plan! If Congress votes it down, we’ll just bribe and/or blackmail individuals to make them see things our way. Of course another false flag wouldn’t hurt either.”
We have a winner.
Too bad we will never see an honest translation like this on the mainstream media. We won’t see it on some alternative news sites either.
Ask Dick Cheney if he had prior knowledge of prior planning of the events right down to a tittle….
Can we hang this gay-looking piece of shit, yet?
