Lindsey Graham Says 'The World Is Literally About To Blow Up'

After listening to President Obama's lay out a foreign policy vision during the State of the Union address on Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) walked away with a nightmarish vision. Just how dire is the situation?

“The world is literally about to blow up,” Graham said, as quoted by Roll Call. From Obama's vow to veto any new sanctions for Iran to the ongoing crisis in Syria, Graham said the world as he knows it "was not remotely described" in the State of the Union speech.

Graham has a penchant for using apocalyptic rhetoric when discussing foreign policy and national security. After Obama said last year that the war on terrorism must come to an end, Graham warned of an explosive outcome.

"Our allies are more afraid than I have ever seen," Graham said. "I support the concepts that the president talked about in many ways, but if he does not change his policy, the Middle East is going to blow up and we are going to hit again here at home to matter how hard we try."

3. The GOP is a doomsday cult with about fifty different "leaders".

They are the most pessimistic group of people I've ever seen. They think everything sucks, especially America.

Such a winning strategery!

5. Well......only when a Democrat is in the WH

Then, we're doomed!!!! Even though the worst thing that has happened so far under President Obama is that 4 State Dept. officials were killed in Benghazi. Seems to me that 3000 dead on 9/11> 4 dead, not to mention the additional 4000+ that were killed in Iraq, which was NOT a war that HAD to be fought there and certainly not then. There are still plenty of places in the world that are messed up but Iran isn't going to do anything to us (they WILL be bombed back to the stone age if they try anything with nukes) nor is Syria, which is its own problem.

4. Freudian slip?
