Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator Lindsey Graham worried that Democrats and some Republicans could form an “unholy alliance” in order to de-fund the War in Afghanistan if there doesn’t not appear to be any significant achievement by next year:
That there are some Republicans who are not going to take a, you know, do or die attitude for Obama’s war. There are some Republicans that want to make this Obama’s war. You saw some of Michael Steele’s comments. There will be some Republicans saying you can’t win because of the July 2011 withdrawal date, he’s made it impossible for us to win, so why should we throw good money after bad? Why should any more lives be lost in a hopeless cause because Obama screwed it up? You’ve got people on the left who are mad with the president because he is doing exactly what Bush did and we’re in a war we can’t win. My concern is that, for different reasons, they join forces and we lose the ability to hold this thing together.
I can’t help wondering if the “some Republicans” Graham speaks about might include himself, because his fear doesn’t seem to hold up to recent history.
