Lindsey Graham said that Bashar al-Assad was doing something to tell Trump “eff you!” after the attack on his airfield.

This sounds likely – what better passive aggressive way to show Trump he did little damage than by still flying attacks out of the same airfield he just bombed? Plus it explains the odd twitter defense the president offered of his operation that was praised by nearly everyone.
But I also get the sense that Graham is taking advantage of the situation to do what he always does – agitate for more military attacks. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea, but maybe don’t send the guy who always screams “wolf!” to guard the henhouse against wolves….
