LINDSEY GRAHAM: When you talk about radical Islam, Mr. President, you're not slandering those who are fighting radical Islam. They don't feel slandered. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan along with Senator McCain over 37 times. I have yet to have one leader in that part of the word tell me, ‘would you quit using the term radical Islam. They appreciate the fact that we understand the threat and that what we've been proposing would actually work.
So the J.V. team here is in the White House and I really don't mean to slander J.V. teams. The bottom line is that the people in the White House have proven take they're not up to the task of defending this nation, destroying radical Islam, and coming out with a plan to make us safe and protect our allies.
