Hawkish Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) publicly blasted the reports of possible US-Iran negotiations during a television appearance Sunday, insisting that the “time for talking is over” and that any negotiations were unacceptable.
Terming the policy of continuing to impose ever more sanctions on Iran “a miserable failure,” Graham insisted that the US should stop negotiating and start demanding “access to their nuclear program.”
“We need to have red lines coordinated with Israel,” Graham said, reflecting similar condemnations of the notion of negotiation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who termed attacking Iran the “diplomatic way to halt the nuclear program.”
Whether such talks are even going to happen remains to be seen, as initial reports of a “secret agreement” to hold such talks after the US election have been denied by both US and Iranian officials, though it sounds like the talks remain at least a possibility and neither denied that negotiations to that effect were ongoing, just insisting a deal had yet to be reached.
is this guy payed by israel to do their politics insteed of usa?
I would think he is , or blackmailed. Or both. Once you get to a certain position of authority or power, you are kept in line with bribes or blackmail.
Senator Graham is a warmonger. War is always a defeat for mankind, but Graham just can't get enough of it. How about getting Israel to let us investigate their nuclear program in exchange for Iran letting us look at theirs?
Graham, has been against talk for well over a decade, talk might mean among other things no war, which wouldnt be of value to his Military industrial buddies! It also might mean that there will be no regime change again wanted so that BP can reclaim its OIL fields, NOTE how that was worded because BP still thinks that they are their oilfields to be reclaimed on regime change!
Senator Prissy Little Warmonger is exactly right. The time for talking is over. So what say you sit your smarmy ass down there Lindy and STFU! Criminy, enough is enough.
warmongers always want send someone elses sons and daughters of to war.
send your relatives lindsey.
Linidsey has been in the Army reserver and the only thing holding him from being called to active duty is a law which makes US representative and US Senators not capable of being called. Why are they paid to be ready when they cannot be called.
I guess Graham has gone rogue and become the first aitting Senator to officially become a member of a 3rd Party…in his case Likud.
Who the hell is Lindsey Graham and why does he want to kill so many people?
He's overcompensating for personally being such a wussy.
that any negotiations were unacceptable’
He was just as sure on Iraq. When are there war lovers ever going to be dismissed as fools. Tens of thousands are crippled ever the fiasco in Iraq. Libya is a disaster and Egypt is probably lost. It is time to understand he got elected because he was one of the 12 angry house members. He pushed for the bill clinton impeachments.
BTW this guy is and has been a member of the reserves collecting a nice salary but he voted for a law which would make it impossible to call up a member of congress. Why have a reserve who connect serve?
i had an argument with my neighbor and i was just going to over and talk to him. figure it's not a big deal, so we could work it out. then i decided to act like linday graham. i've since blown up my neighbor's house, wiped out his family and took over his yard. there was no way he was going to make me look weak or stupid. i mean, it's clear that morons sit down and negotiate over differences of idea. NOTHING in the sum total of human history has been accomplished by negotiation. no, any slight difference you kill your adversary and this makes you correct.
Graham is disgusting to say the least, why would anyone listen to this idiot?
crawl back under your rock m o r o n…..
Regarding the state of the American political mindset…it's telling when it's more acceptable to attack and invade another country…along with the associated death (on all sides) and destruction…instead of sitting at a table and trying to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. To the religious-leaning rightwingers, it's a sign of weakness to talk…much more manly to attack them with stealth fighters and unmanned, missile wielding drones…so much cleaner than actually having to shake hands and talk.
Amazing he can blurt this s**t out without the slightest fear of any ramifications. Such as not getting re-elected. Scary. Sad.
If there ever was a traitor to the US, its people, and the constitution it is the Zionist lackey Lindsey Graham. He should be flown over Tehran wrapped in the Israeli flag, and pushed out…The US needs to purge itself of such mendacious cretins like Graham, and Lieberman.
In a normal world where common sense would prevail this fool would be cast out and labelled a traitor for consorting with an enemy (Zionist entity) of the state (USA) for promoting an illegal war.
