Sen. Lindsey Graham announced today on CBS this Morning that he is going to climb into the clown car June 1st. in the interview in revealed that he will be bringing his foreign policy skills along.
"I'm running because I think the world is falling apart. I've been more right than wrong on foreign policy," he said in an interview on "CBS This Morning"
Apparently Lindsey feels that there were not enough war hawks in the GOP race to the top.
Lindsey said "It's not the fault of others or their lack of this or that that makes me want to run. It's my ability in my own mind to be a good commander-in-chief and to make Washington work."
As to what you can expect from a hawkish senator, who's home state of South Carolina is jam packed full of military bases on the coastline, Lindsey says" "When it came to radical Islam, I would go after them before they come back here again."
Lindsey is one of the few GOP contenders that gave it a bit of thought before jumping into the clown car with the rest of the clowns. He first created a committee to study his chances and that enabled him to start a PAC called 'Security Through Strength'. The name gives you a good idea what the key talking points of his platform will be.
When confronted with Jeb Bush's question,"Given what is known today, would they have authorized the invasion of Iraq?" Lindsey's answer was short and blunt ""What do we do today and tomorrow and the day after? We have to reset Iraq."
So, It's fairly clear that he wants to sent the troops back to Iraq and throw so more gas on the never ending fire.

2:05 PM PT: Sen. Lindsey Graham war heard laughing on Saturday, in an audio recording that has since been pulled from the NPR web site, as he told a crowd of Iowa Republicans attending the party’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner that if an American were suspected of associating with terrorists, he would order a drone to kill that person.
"If I'm President of the United States and you're thinkin' about joining al-Qaeda or ISIL — anybody thinkin' about that? — I'm not going to call a judge, I'm going to call a drone and we will kill you," Graham said
So this guy may have one thing in common with the Obama administration. He has no problem with killing U.S. citizens on foreign soil.
