Graham: We’re Seeing in Syria What We Saw in Iraq

During Attorney General nominee William Barr’s hearing on Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) addressed the deadly attack in Syria that occurred earlier in the day and expressed concern that Syria is turning out the way Iraq did.

Graham said, “My concern about the statements made by President Trump, is that you would set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we’re fighting. You make people we’re trying to help wonder about us. And as they get bolder, the people we’re trying to help are going to get more uncertain. We saw this in Iraq, and are now seeing it in Syria.”
