Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday blasted President Obama and his response to the terrorist attack in Paris last week.
“I have no idea why the president of the United States won’t call this a religious war when the president of Egypt does. Our strategy to combat radical Islam is failing,” Graham said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Graham charged that Obama does not take the threat of terrorism seriously enough and criticized the president for sending Attorney General Eric Holder to a security summit in Paris this weekend.
“Last time I checked, we’re at war. I wouldn’t send my attorney general if I were president to deal with radical Islamic terrorists,” Graham said. “The attorney general is a law enforcement officer and it tells you all you need to know about Obama’s view of this conflict. He thinks it’s a crime out of control. I think it’s a war out of control.”
The senator then said that Obama’s policies are not effective in combatting terrorism.
“President Obama’s strategy is not going to degrade or destroy ISIL. It’s going to allow this conflict to go further and longer,” he said. “I’ve never been more worried about being hit at home, because the president’s worldview and strategy toward radical Islam is failing.”

All I can say is Senator Graham is pathetic.
who keeps giving these stooges air time and why? why are we subjected to these idiots every sunday morning? and why the hell arent they in church praying for their lost souls?
Yes, to represent the U.S. at a meeting of the world’s top intelligence and law-enforcement officials, Obama should have sent George Patton and Curtis Lemay.
Gracious. Lindsey’s fear is almost palpable. Why on earth are Republicans always so fearful?
Does he want the U.S. to invade another country because of three nutcases in Paris?+
+Rhetorical question, because of course the solution to any problem for Butters is more war.
Those who are willing to help Graham in his desperate attempts to maintain relevancy.
