Sen. Lindsey Graham: I’m Declaring War on ISIS

Sen. Lindsey Graham is preparing to send a motion that declares war on ISIS after Thanksgiving. During an interview with the FOX Business Network’s Stuart Varney he said: “This President has no clue of what he’s doing. An attack on our nation is imminent. I’m willing, ready and able to destroy ISIL and reset the world.”

He said declaring war on ISIS would “allow this President and every other president to do whatever is necessary to destroy ISIL before they hit us here at home.”

When asked whether President Obama would veto the bill he said: “I can’t make him do what’s right but I’m going to give him a plan to win this war… Let the President of the United States veto an action to give him unlimited authority to destroy the most radical terrorist organization on the planet. They are more lethal than Al Qaeda. They are coming here if we don’t stop them over there.”

Sen. Graham argued you need a total of 100,000 troops, with 10,000 American boots on the ground to defeat ISIS.

“10,000 is not enough -- but that’s enough to give the Arabs in Turkey the capacity they need to win,” he said.

He also explained why he believed Congress would approve the declaration of war.

“Any member in Congress who rejects the idea that we should be involved in total war against ISIL doesn’t understand the threats that homeland faces from ISIL and will go down in history as a very sorry soul.”
