| Lindsey Graham's Prediction About Afghanistan Stuns Reporter | |
| 2021-09-08 | |
| [Townhall] Sen. Lindsey Graham stunned BBC reporter Stephen Sackur after making a prediction about the United States’ future involvement in Afghanistan. "Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it’s Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault, here’s where we’re at as a world: The Taliban are not reformed, they’re not new," Graham said about the situation in Afghanistan. "They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times."
"They’re going to give safe haven to al Qaeda, who has ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East writ large and attack us because of our way of life," Graham told Sackur. "We will be going back into Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria." Sackur was shocked by what Graham predicted. "Hang on, you seriously think the United States will once again in the foreseeable future put troops back into Afghanistan?" Sackur asked. "We’ll have to because the threat will be so large," Graham claimed. "Why did we go back to Syria and Iraq? Why do we have 5,000 troops in Iraq today? Because of the caliphate rising, projecting force outside of Iraq. Killing Americans. Killing the French, attacking the British. So yes, it will be a cauldron for radical Islamic behavior. You cannot deal with this over the horizon." | |

| #8 He is stating the obvious - why else would the "adults in charge" have botched things so badly? To mess things up that badly was more than incompetence and cowardice. Not mishap, but malfeasance. It was deliberate, to give them another excuse to start a generational war. Graham just gave away the payoff. |

| #7 Oh I don't know...but I'd happily say we should send in lots of terminator type robots with pork infused weapons. But that place isn't worth any American's life. |

| #6 Afghanistan is a Symptom and obsessing about one sore doesn't cure a malady. |

| #5 Nuke 'em if they attack us, but other than that they can be in their religious utopia and kill each other as much as they want. Fuck them and fuck you Graham. |

| #4 Boy, he's pissed that his war got taken away. If he wants a war so badly, why doesn't he pick up a rifle and go? "They’re going to give safe haven to al Qaeda, who has ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East writ large and attack us because of our way of life," We don't need the Middle East. We have plenty of petroleum right here in America. Moreover solar et al are getting more important all the time. US interference in the Middle East was cause for the foundation of Al Qaeda. AQ's entire idea was to provoke the neocons in the US into endless wars that would bankrupt us and make the world hate us. 20 years later, that goal has largely been achieved. |

| #2 #1 Agreed - But I feel it is time we repair the USA and our borders before spending $$$ Billions overseas fighting meaningless extended wars. eg. According to US-Sec of State Kerry's own public comments al Qaeda was neutralized over 10 years ago. But as we know. All DC needs is 1 "claimed/staged" Islamic nutjob to send in a few 100 US Military troops, to rekindle al Qaeda recruitment for those looking for a land of virgins. |
