Appearing at a press conference Wednesday with Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted the looming sequester cuts to the Pentagon. “I’m sure Iran is very supportive of sequestration,” Graham said.

During the press conference, GOP senators and congressmen introduced a partial replacement for the sequester as a way of avoiding or delaying some of the across-the-board cuts due to kick automatically in March 1. 

Correction: In its original form, this entry incorrectly reported that House Armed Services Committee Democrats were in attendance at this press conference. Only Republicans were in attendance. We regret the error.
