Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tore into Obama administration foreign policy and the way Secretary of State John Kerry has dealt with escalated conflict between Israel and Hamas and how he responded to the downed Malaysian plane in eastern Ukraine.
“And as to Secretary Kerry, he gave the most ridiculous and delusional summary of American foreign policy I could imagine,” Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” while discussing Israel’s ground operation in Gaza. “It scares me that he believes the world is in such good shape. America is the glue that holds the free world together. Leading from behind is not working.”
“And President Obama has become the king of indecision. His policies are failing across the globe, and they will come here soon,” Graham continued.
Host David Gregory then asked Graham how the Kerry has failed in addressing the Malaysian plane and evidence that pro-Russia separatists likely shot down the plane with Russian weapons.
“One, he didn’t call Putin the thug that he is. He didn’t call for arming the Ukraine so they can defend themselves against rebel separatists supported by Russia,” Graham responded.
“President Obama is trying to be deliberative. It comes off as indecisive. He’s trying to be thoughtful. It comes off as weakness,” he continued.
Well, at least we aren’t desperate enough as a nation to have to depend upon Graham’s foreign policy recommendations . . .
Miss Lindsey is having a hissy fit. Can a conniption fit be far behind?
He didn’t call for arming the Ukraine…
Because simply handing people weapons worked out so well for Putin?
President Obama only worries about fundraising and November elections, fearful that any very strong and needed decision will somehow cause the Democratic Party to lose the Senate.
The real world is something different from prepared speeches, Mr.President!!!
“”“One, he didn’t call Putin the thug that he is. He didn’t call for arming the Ukraine so they can defend themselves against rebel separatists supported by Russia,” Graham responded… He didn’t call for arming the Ukraine so they can defend themselves against rebel separatists supported by Russia," Graham responded."
"“One, he didn’t call Putin the thug that he is” You mean like sticks and stones?
"He didn’t call for arming the Ukraine "
And that would have done what for this airliner ?
