War Drums Commence with Senator Graham’s ‘Use of Force against Iran’ Resolution

Another good way to shoot the GOP in the foot just in time for the election. Graham has been out on the stump for another war. Keep in mind, the previous NDAA passed authorizes the use of federal databases to make sure all males are registered. Should make for a great Dem ad. Terrific

This week, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Just like the claim of WMDs in Iraq, Graham’s claims this time Iran as an imminent nuclear danger,

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.

The President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against the Islamic Republic of Iran if the President determines that the Islamic Republic of Iran—

(1) is in the process of possessing a nuclear weapon that threatens the national security interests of the United States; or

(2) possesses uranium enriched to weapons-grade level, possesses a nuclear warhead, or possesses a delivery vehicle capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that threatens the national security interests of the United States.

SEC. 2. WAR POWERS RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS.

(a) Specific Statutory Authorization.—Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(1)), the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(b)).

In his resolution, Graham argues that Iran’s nuclear ambitions pose a significant threat not just to Israel but to global security. While the rhetoric may sound alarming, it is clear that this bill is less about protecting American interests and more about aligning U.S. policy with foreign objectives. This is exactly what America DOESN’T need right now, especially with the election less than 3 months away.

Keep in mind, our lawmakers also just passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases. They are also trying to pass the same mandate for women as well.
