What do 'they' have on Lindsay Graham?
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/17664.html

Sen. Graham returns from Iraq with renewed hopes
By James Rosen | McClatchy Newspapers


WASHINGTON — While some Republican senators break with President Bush over Iraq, Sen. Lindsey Graham has returned from his seventh wartime visit there with renewed hope that the U.S. troop buildup is producing results.

At the same time, the South Carolina Republican told Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki and other Iraqi leaders that they've made too little progress on steps such as reconciling the country's warring factions and sharing oil revenues among Shiite Muslims, Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds.

"We left the impression upon them that patience at home (in the United States) is running out," Graham said in a phone call from Paris while en route home Thursday.

In contrast with the stalled political progress, Graham said, the surge — the dispatch of 30,000 more U.S. troops that Bush began in January — is yielding clear results.

"The military part of the surge is working beyond my expectations," Graham said. "We literally have the enemy on the run. The Sunni part of Iraq has really rejected al Qaida all over the country. We're getting more information about al Qaida operations than we've ever received."

4. That's not it, or if it is he's dumber than I thought. I think he's gay and could
care less.

12. It's actually well known among his constituency in SC that Gomer is gay...
and they are fine with that as long as he isn't upfront about it and he continues to be against all of the other things that they hate.
In SC, they consider him to be a "good funnyboy"

15. Denial is not a river in Egypt,
it's a way of life in Dixie. Why he's not gay, he's just different. And he has such lovely manners.

red necky, racist turd and a throw back from the 30's.....he's trying his damned best to emulate his hero, Strom Thurmond. Every time I hear him talk, I really want to poke something sharp in my ears, then I remember the mute button. ;)

8. The question presumes that Graham
Edited on Sat Jul-07-07 10:16 PM by hughee99
knows his ass from a hole in the ground and is lying to cover something up. I'm not convinced he's smart enough to know what's going on at all, he's just repeating what "better informed" people are telling him so he doesn't look stupid (or at least HE thinks doing this doesn't make him look stupid).

18. Graham knows his constituency
The last time the people of South Carolina opposed a U.S. military presence was when they shelled Ft Sumter. And they remember what happened after that.
