Sen. Graham: Obama Must Stop ISIS ‘Before We All Get Killed Here at Home’
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been warning for months of an ISIS attack on the homeland that would make 9/11 pale, but he appeared to ratchet up the rhetoric Sunday morning when he told Fox News Sunday guest host John Roberts that President Barack Obama needed to stop ISIS/L “before we all get killed here at home.”
“The first thing I want to tell American people, from my point of view, it is our fight, it is not just their fight,” Graham said. “I will not let this president suggest to the American people we can outsource or security and this is not about our safety. There is no way in hell you can form an army on the ground to go into Syria, to destroy ISIL, without a substantial American component. To destroy ISIL, you have to kill or capture their leaders, take the territory they hold back, cut off the financing, and destroy the capability to regenerate.”

“This is a war we’re fighting, not a counterterrorism operation,” graham continued. “This is not Somalia, this is not Yemen. This is a turning point i nthe war on terror. Our strategy will fail yet again. This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home.”
