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.
