Senator Lindsey Graham Urges War With Iran, Confrontation With China

Posted by | November 7, 2010 10:31 | Filed under: Top Stories


South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham says containment with Iran is “off the table.”

If President Barack Obama “decides to be tough with Iran beyond sanctions, I think he is going to feel a lot of Republican support for the idea that we cannot let Iran develop a nuclear weapon,” he told the Halifax International Security Forum.

“The last thing America wants is another military conflict, but the last thing the world needs is a nuclear-armed Iran… Containment is off the table.”

The South Carolina Republican saw the United States going to war with the Islamic republic “not to just neutralize their nuclear program, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard, in other words neuter that regime.”

And Graham predicts confrontation with China over currency issues.

Graham also warned of a forthcoming “period of confrontation” with China over its “cheating” currency manipulation.

US and European lawmakers have called for a stronger Chinese currency as their economies struggle to recover from the global financial crisis. US lawmakers claim the yuan is grossly undervalued and causes global trade imbalances.
