Sen. Lindsey Graham: ‘Cut The Head Of The Snake Off,’ Start Bombing Gaddafi In Tripoli
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on State of the Union to discuss the apparent military stalemate in Libya between Gaddafi’s forces and the rebels. Graham acknowledged the mandate from the United Nations does not necessarily allow for more aggressive intervention by coalition forces, yet Graham firmly believed if more wasn’t done to aid the rebels soon then there would be no progress.
Graham’s recommendation to NATO and to the administration:
“Cut the head of the snake off, go to Tripoli, start bombing Gaddafi’s inner circle, their compounds, their military headquarters in Tripoli. The way to get Gaddafi to leave is to have his inner circle break and turn on him, and that’s going to take a sustained effort through an air campaign. . . . You cannot protect the Libyan people if Gaddafi stays. You cannot protect our vital national security interests if Gaddafi stays.”
Graham argued the quickest way to end this conflict was to get rid of Gaddafi and thought the “people around Gaddafi need to wake up every day wondering will this be my last.” Tough talk from the Senator, but Graham did not seem concerned that such aggression would be harmful since he thought if nothing more is done soon then many more lives will be lost.
