Lindsey Graham

Still an asshole:

Webb: “This one thing I really take objection to is politicians …”
Lindsey keeps interrupting

Webb: “May I speak? … Is politicians who put their political views
in the mouths of soldiers. You can look at poll after poll and the
political views of the United States military are no different than
the country writ large. Go take a look at the New York Times today.
Less than half of the military believes that we should have been in
Iraq in the first place.”

Graham: “Have you ever been to Iraq? Have you ever been?”

Webb: “Have you ever been to these … I’ve covered two wars as a
correspondent.”

cross-talk

Graham: “Have you been to Iraq and talked to the soldiers?”

Webb: “You know, you haven’t been to Iraq Lindsey. (cross-talk).
You go see the dog and pony show. That’s what Congressman do.”

cross talk

Webb: “I’ve been a member of the military more than the Senators been
a Senator.”

———
Webb: “35% of the United States military agrees with the policy of
this President.”

Graham: “Well, why do they keep reenlisting? Why do they go back?”

Webb: “Because they love their country. (cross-talk) They do not do
it for political reasons. Believe me, my family’s been doing this
since the Revolutionary War.”

Graham: “Yea? Well so has my family.”

Webb: “They do it because they love their country. They do it because
they have a tradition, and it is the responsibility of our national
leaders so make sure that they are used properly.”

The other guy is Senator Jim Webb btw.
