'We are going make a tonne of money': US Senator Graham on US war on Iran

Source: Al Jazeera (English)

Lindsey Graham, the veteran Republican senator who has been pushing for war against Iran for decades, has issued a dire warning to the Iranian government, saying it was worth spending money to “take this regime down”.

“When this regime goes down, we are going to have a new Middle East, and we are going [to] make a tonne of money,” Graham, a longtime proponent of US military intervention abroad, told Fox News on Sunday.

that is the reason why US is helping Israel bomb Iran, oil = money.

Hundreds, maybe thousands may die, but shithole said it's worth it.

It would not surprise me if Iran's bestie Putin gave up the location to the supreme leader and others.

It's just fine to kill thousands of people if you're going to make money from it. And these people call themselves Christians.

A lot of them don't think anyone outside of their own denomination is a true Christian. These Fundagelicals in America are a scourge.

Some languages have one word which includes the person or persons being spoken to, and one word which does not include those being addressed.

the brightest. All mouth, and nothing behind anything he says. Remember, "I'm out of it", then joined the cult?

I describe poor Lindsey as a 25 watt bulb in a box of 150 watt bulbs.

... the have ALWAYS been irredeemably evil; they just don't think they have to hide it anymore. Alas, they gave away the game too soon, and now we're coming for them.
If ever they update the DSM 5, they should include conservatism on the darkest end of the sociopathy spectrum, right after "bloodthirsty psychopath".

That has been a question for years.
Now we know!
Americans don't care in the same way. We mistake symbolism for Democracy.

Only when the war comes to America will most give a damn. It took 9-11 and we started a bullshit war on a lie!
Unity fell to a needless war.

Now we're divided and have a needless war.

I am ready to form a new government built on accountability and responsibility!
