Can right-wing Senator Lindsey Graham learn from past experience? Does Graham ever exaggerate?
Lindsey Graham calls the Charlie Hebdo massacre a “religious war” and pushes the defense agenda.
Notice how Graham also pronounces the word strength, “strenth” (minus the “g”).
Secular Talk
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the first American politicians to comment on the shooting at the Paris office of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, claimed the attack was the latest episode in a clash between two irreconcilable cultures, of which only one can survive.
As previously noted, several defense contractors are campaign contributors to Lindsey Graham, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Electric, Milliken Corp., and others.

According to MSNBC, some GOP lawmakers on the panel of the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee described the findings of their recent report on the 2012 attack in Benghazi as “definitive.”
Every question has been answered. Every conspiracy theory has been looked at.
Every House committee, every Senate committee, every State Department investigator, and every inquiry launched by independent news organizations have reached the exact same conclusion.
There may be a general feeling, even among many Republicans, that it’s time to just move on.
But that’s not going to happen. Not only is the House on track to spend at last another $1.5 million – of our money – on yet another committee, but many GOP lawmakers have decided to reject the findings of other GOP lawmakers.
Notable politicians such as Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul have been rejecting the findings of the report from members of their own party.
As Simon Maloy noted, Republican senator Rand Paul even proceeded to suggest his own GOP allies may be “helping the Obama administration cover-up the truth about Benghazi.”
According to the Huffington Post, millions in taxpayer money have been spent on the several Benghazi investigations that have been conducted over the past couple of years.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) still doesn’t believe the Benghazi reports. Recently, the seventh investigation – which was Republican-led – came to a conclusion and a report was released.
According to the Denver Post, the House Intelligence Committee report was released on the Friday before Thanksgiving week. Many of its findings are similar to those of six previous investigations by other congressional committees and a State Department panel. The eighth Benghazi investigation is being carried out by a House Select Committee appointed in May.
This report was issued by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Michigan.
Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. Lindsey Graham blasted the House GOP-led investigation that debunked myths about the 2012 Benghazi attack.
The House Intelligence Committee took two years to compile, and found there was no outright intelligence failure during the attack, there was no delay in the rescue of U.S. personnel, and there was no political cover-up by Obama administration officials.
After Graham was asked whether the report exonerates the administration, he initially ignored the question, and then said “no.”
“I think the report is full of crap,” Graham said.
Similar to six previous government reports, the one released by the Committee on Friday said that the administration had not intentionally misled the public about what occurred during the attacks in the talking points it created for officials to use in television appearances that turned out to be inaccurate.
It also said that no order was given by the military to “stand down” in responding to try to save the four Americans killed in the attacks.
This report is separate from the Special Committee created by Speaker John Boehner. The Special Committee is led by Representative Trey Gowdy, a Republican from South Carolina, who has a budget of $3.3 million for the investigation. PoliticusUSA states that $14 million of taxpayer money has already been spent on Benghazi investigations.
Republican senator Lindsey Graham says that the US must invade Syria. Graham is not short on exaggeration. He says that President Obama must “rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home.”
Because of all of the “moderate,” “extremist,” and “government” groups, the Syrian conflict is complicated, and some “moderates” have signed pacts with the “extremists” ISIS.
OK, Fine.
