I fear this is just the beginning… Lindsey Graham has lately been denounced by Limbaugh and others for selling out to the establishment (for his efforts with Kerry for cap-and-trade and skeptical words about the Tea Party). This wildly irresponsible idea is meant to conciliate them. It costs him nothing in South Carolina and it shows his solidarity with the Israel lobby. It will make the Likud/neoconservative pressure to bomb merely the nuclear enrichment facilities seem by comparison “moderate.” It sets them up to portray Obama as weak in the extreme if he tries to prevent some sort of strike against Iran. Graham won’t have had the approval of the military for this move. He’s on his own–catalyst of a new triangulation rightward and building a bridge with the likely militarist majority of the Tea Party.
