“Hell of an Outcome!” – Stunning. Trump-Basher Lindsey Graham Now Says President’s Plan for Syria is Working (VIDEO)

"Lindsey Graham joined Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday Night on Justice with Judge Jeanine to discuss the situation in northeastern Syria.

During the conversation Senator Graham told Judge Jeanine that we can expect another 9-11 style attack if we leave northern Syria.

That conversation took place on Saturday night.

Senator Lindsey Graham later spoke with President Trump following his segment with Jeanine Pirro.

By this morning, after three weeks of constant criticism, Lindsey Graham changed his tune and praised President Trump over his Syrian strategy.
You just can’t make this up.

Maria Bartiromo: It could turn out very well? This is completely different than what you’ve been saying all week. Yu’ve been a staunch criticizer of the president’s move to pull all the troops out of Syria. You said, in fact, on this program just two weeks ago, “If we abandon the Kurds ISIS is going to come back and that there is an attack on our allies.” So you’ve changed your mind based on what you’ve heard from the president last night?

Lindsey Graham: Yeah, I still believe if we abandon the Kurds nobody will help you in the future. They lost 10,000 fighters to destroy the caliphate… What I heard from the president is a very, play the ball as you lie, is a concept in golf. Well, after Erdogan’s invasion things have gotten scrambled in Syria. But I see a way forward now that really quite frankly is historic. Historic security for Turkey. Historic security for the Kurds. A plan to keep ISIS down and out forever… That would be a hell of an outcome.

Amazing.
All he had to do is call Trump and that changed his entire understanding of the president’s strategy in Syria.

 

[Use of Time]

Oh wow. Now we are going to take Graham seriously now that he has fallen back in line.

 

[Benjamin]

Another Leftist hysterical TDS moment of hope crumbles to dust and blows away in the wind…

 

[Revmitchell]

Oh wow. Now we are going to take Graham seriously now that he has fallen back in line.

Who here said they did not take him seriously?

 

[Benjamin]

Maybe the Dems plan to dig up some controversial issues in Jordan will pan out and give them a couple more weeks of talking points about how bad our country and president are...

Maybe you’ll dig up some more garbage to throw at the wall?

Moment of hope? What are you even talking about? I’m hysterical? Whatever you say guy.

 

[Revmitchell]

In that quote he was talking about the dems, even still there was no quotes that he didn't take him seriously. So who said "I don't take him seriously?

Graham voted against Trumps plan to pull out and has been a vocal critic of how it was done. Kyredneck has called me chicken little for agreeing and now we have a fair weather quote with Grahem’s opinion as some sort of definitive declaration that this is a good thing now.

So once again I ask, where is the quote from someone on this board who said "I can't take Graham seriously"?

 

[Use of Time]

It wasn’t against a specific quote dude it was a collective statement against those that were minimizing the bipartisan vote here in which Graham and 128 other Republicans voted against Trump. The “we” are people like Kyredneck and the others that think the manner in which we pulled out and who didn’t listen to him before was fine. Now I have a quote from Kyredneck with Graham saying “I think” while predicting a positive outcome in syria like it’s some kind of argument ending statement. He will post only things that fit his narrative even if the source was against him five minutes ago.

Go look at his thread about free advertising for his resort and the G7 summit if you do t believe me.

 

[KenH]

I don’t take Lindsay Graham seriously though.

Lindsey Graham has acted lost at sea ever since his dear friend John McCain died.

 

[Revmitchell]

It wasn’t against a specific quote dude it was a collective statement against those that were minimizing the bipartisan vote here in which Graham and 128 other Republicans votes against Trump.

So now that is cleared up guess what? People did not agree with his stance against it. Now that he is no longer against it they find themselves in solidarity. Not sure where this is a problem.

Well no I don’t think there is a problem either.

I don’t know if I would draw the conclusion that he is for the Syria pullout from that statement. I think he is just resigned to the fact that it happened and is looking for a silver lining. The rest of his quote isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement.

 

[kyredneck]

Oh wow. Now we are going to take Graham seriously now that he has fallen back in line.

The old neocon coming around to the paleocon's thinking. I hope it catches on. The neocons cost us trillions of dollars with their global interventions and regime change mindset.

Intriguing reversal, but the best part, which he unfortunately later corrected, was his "Play the ball as you lie" variation. This isn't golf, so isn't that the way it should be done?

...i.e., "play the cards you're dealt"...

I can’t argue with this statement.

 

[RighteousnessTemperance&]

...i.e., "play the cards you're dealt"...

Yeah, that's like the "play the ball as it lies" rule. But with balls, there are trick shots, trick plays, etc. With the card game analogy, anything a card sharp might do goes. This ain't bridge, or even poker.

In other words, "play" by your own "rules," or "play it as you lie." But of course war isn't play.

Good grief there is no way you read the article.

OK, since you cannot manage to screw up the courage to go there, I'll bring it to you. Here is a significant part of the article. It shows Mattis bracketing the issues generally enough, but then creating a more specific context by aiming them squarely at the extremely unlikely scenario of "an ambitious leader, unfettered by conscience, or precedent or decency, who would make himself supreme."

Regarding failures, Mattis rightly says "we" but fails to cite the main instigators or the more present danger of "an ambitious ['swamp'], unfettered by conscience, or precedent or decency, [which] would make [it]self supreme." The Dems are an especially real problem in just this way, and do not show themselves even close to being trustworthy. Despite your claim to the contrary, the article does not have Mattis greatly explaining the situation, though it would be great if the Dems took that closing invitation to heart.

In it, Lincoln "observed great nations crumble for one of two reasons," the first being foreign invasion, Mattis said, which the future president dismissed as "inconceivable."

The second, he said, paraphrasing Lincoln, "was corrosion from within – the rot, the viciousness, the lassitude, the ignorance."

"Anarchy is one potential consequence of all this. The other is the rise of an ambitious leader, unfettered by conscience, or precedent or decency, who would make himself supreme," he said.

Decrying the lack of bipartisanship, Mattis warned of a "national paralysis" that has "supplanted trust and empathy with suspicion and contempt."

"We have scorched our opponents with language that precludes compromise and we have brushed aside the possibility that the person with whom we disagree might actually sometimes be right," he said.

"We owe a debt to all who fought for liberty, including those who tonight serve in the far corners of our planet, among them the American men and women supporting our Kurdish allies," the retired general said.

In conclusion, Mattis again paraphrased Lincoln, this time that president's famous Second Inaugural speech, delivered in the closing days of the Civil War: "With malice for none and charity for all, let us restore trust in one another."
