Sen. Lindsey Graham is elated about President Donald Trump’s new Afghanistan strategy.

Vice President Mike Pence and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster briefed Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain and Graham Wednesday on the new plan for the fight in Afghanistan.

That’s according to Graham, who told Fox News Radio that the new strategy is one he is “very excited about.”

“I’ve never been more proud of President Trump and his team than I am right now. I was called down with Senator McCain and other senators and briefed by Gen. McMaster and the vice president yesterday in the White House situation room,” the South Carolina Republican said.

1. Poor Graham got left out of the lovefest by trump's cabinet

[Freethinker65]

2. And if the MIC is lucky, we can be fighting against our own weapons!

Oh the money to be made arming both sides. As Rumsfeld famously stated- troops are fungible.

Damn

3. The "new" strategy in endless war.

Or, in other words, how do we get Americans to fall for our obscene defense budgets?

4. I take back everything I may have said about Graham

being "occasionally coherent".

He's "never been more proud of T-" Oh. I guess that's not a high bar to clear.

5. Is he grabbing a helmet?

6. So he has stock in defense contractor companies?

How many more fucking years can we stay in Afghanistan?
