not my typical blogging shtick...

i usually steer clear of political rhetoric, but i found this trio of tweets by Sen. Lindsey Graham of SC intriguing:

“I feel all we have worked for, fought for, and sacrificed for is very much in jeopardy by today’s announcement.”

“I hope I am wrong and the President is right, but I fear this decision has set in motion events that will come back to haunt our country.”

he even prefaced the two tweets with this: “On Iraq, I respectfully disagree with President Obama.”

humility and respect. regardless of your opinions on the war and withdrawal announced today, you've got to agree we don't see a lot of those things coming from washington. it got my attention. so thanks, Sen. Graham. it was a pleasant surprise.
