Sen. Lindsey Graham has been making the rounds since Trump and Israel launched their attack on Iran, heaping praise on Dear Leader and pretending everything is going to go wonderfully, rather than admit they just opened up a can of worms with no idea what comes next with the chaos they unleashed on the region.
It was more of the same on this Sunday’s Meet the Press, with Graham getting extremely testy with host Kristen Welker when she pressed him on how we make sure the regime that replaces the one we just took out isn’t worse.
WELKER: Senator history tells us just how complicated regime change is. we saw that when Saddam Hussein was ousted, and the terror threat and group moved in. How will the United States make sure that the next Iranian government isn’t worse than the current regime?
GRAHAM: It’s not our job to pick the next Iranian government. I don’t remember being attacked by Iraq any time, you know, in the past. Iraq is complicated, but, you know, we have a relationship with Iraq.
It’s up to Iran to pick your leader. It’s not my job. It’s not President Trump’s job. We’re not going to occupy the country. We’re going give the people of Iran a chance to do something they’ve never had before, chart their own destiny.
