Top armchair general promises Iran fire and brimstone

When it comes to tough talk on Iran it would be hard to out-talk Lindsey Graham.

Graham isn't just another armchair general, of course. In addition to being the Republican Senator from South Carolina he's a part-time Colonel in the Air Force Reserve. Pops into theater once in awhile when the Senates's in recess to give the troops legal advice. You see, in addition to being a Senator and a Colonel, Lindsey is a lawyer too. He makes sure the guards at Abu Ghraib know how many naked Iraqi prisoners they can pile on top of one another before they've crossed that fuzzy line between harmless fun and torture.

Senator Graham has been making the rounds of the political talk shows lately talking tough on Iran. John Bolton is pretty much a pussy compared to this guy. Forget shock and awe. We're talking fire and brimstone. Destroy their army. Sink their navy. Neuter their regime. By God, I think Grahams got one eye on a presidential bid!

Question is, can we do all that with drones?
