FLASHBACK: Lindsay Graham said Iraq would ‘go to hell’ if Obama withdraws troops too quickly

Senator Lindsay Graham is hardly our favorite Republican, but even he had the foresight in 2011 to know that Obama’s plan to withdraw our troops from Iraq too quickly would lead to the dire consequences we’re seeing now. He was so emphatic in advocating that more troops were needed to secure order that he said Iraq could “go to hell” if we followed Obama’s plan.

Here’s the video:

Another surprising aspect of this video is his blasting the plan to have the State Department have their own version of an army. The weapons and equipment he’s talking about in 2011 are the ones that have now fallen into Al Qaeda affiliated ISIS terrorist hands.

Of course, Obama’s a Democrat so you won’t see this plastered all over the headlines the way it would be if he were otherwise.
