Lindsey Graham says he’s ‘lost all confidence’ in Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin<\/h3>\n

by Jenny Goldsberry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed his disappointment in Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s strategy when it comes to the war between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

Graham appeared on State of the Union Sunday to offer his critique of Austin’s calls on Israel for a ceasefire. Austin suggested that Israel was driving civilians into the arms of the enemy, and therefore it would “replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat.” The senator admitted that while he liked the secretary as a person, he has lost confidence in Austin because he’s “naive.”<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s so naive. I mean, I just lost all confidence in this guy. How about focusing on protecting our soldiers, men, and women in Syria and Iraq? Strategic defeat would be enflaming the Palestinians. They\u2019re already enflamed,” Graham said. “But this war has shown to me he doesn’t understand. If we were attacked like this \u2014 which we were on 9\/11 \u2014 if somebody called for us within two months to have a ceasefire against al Qaeda, we would have laughed them out of town, we would have run them out of town.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two senators voted against Austin’s confirmation as SECDEF; neither were from South Carolina. As for hearts and minds the Hamas Mickey Mouse character Farfour is unavailable for comment.
