Lindsey Graham Unhinged: We Will ‘All Get Killed Back Here’ If Obama Lets ISIS Open ‘The Gates Of He

David Edwards
14 Sep 2014



Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) did not hold back on Sunday in expressing his outrage at President Barack Obama’s refusal to send ground troops to confront ISIS, warning that the “gates of hell” would “spill out onto the world.”

“It’s going to take an army to beat an army, and this idea [that] we’ll never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in Syria is fantasy, and all this has come home to roost over the last three years of incompetent decisions,” Graham told Fox News host John Roberts. “It’s delusional in the way that they approach this.”

The senior senator from South Carolina said that ISIS was similar to Nazi Germany, but instead of a master race, they were “a radical Islamic army that’s pushing the theory of a master religion.”

“It’s about protecting millions of people throughout the world from a radical Islamic army,” he added. “They’re intending to come here. So, I will not let this president suggest to the American people we can outsource our security and this is not about our safety. There is no way in hell you can form an army in Syria to go after ISIL without a substantial American component.”

“This is a war we’re fighting! This is not a counter-terrorism operation! This is not Somalia, this is not Yemen! This is a turning point in the war on terror! Our strategy will fail yet again! This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home!”

The reason is simple: After the Cold War, Charleston lost a naval shipyard, helping boost local unemployment to 7.1% from 2.6% between 1990 and 1993. With at least 10% of the region's 330,000 workers still depending on the military, that's too much exposure to ignore, even with area joblessness a relatively low 6.3%, Taylor says.
A 25% spending cut, which is possible if Congress lets the full 10 years and $1 trillion-plus in defense cuts to take effect, could cost the area 3,000 to 4,000 jobs, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.

Obama opens the gates of Hell or at least defense spending cuts.
