Graham to Reporter Who Says Americans Haven’t Heard of Niger: ‘It’s Not Whether You Can Pass’ Geography

RUSH EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "It’s not whether you can pass a geography test. It’s whether or not the threat exists. Most Americans want to do the following. They don’t want another 9-11. We don’t want the next 9-11 to come from Niger. When you look at the number of the forces on the ground, a pretty good return on investment. They’re not massive deployments. I would like to know, are there 1,000 soldiers in Niger. What are they do something if we don’t like what they’re doing, then we would cease funding the 1,000 in Niger. That’s the way the system works. To the American people. The war is headed to Africa. It’s beginning to morph as we suppress the enemy in the mid ease, they’re going to move. They’re not going to quit. So President Obama set up a precedence there. In Yemen, there’s no government to work with. The general idea, we’re not going to a country unless we’re invited. We’re not going to do anything unless we buy into what they’re doing. Yemen is a classic example of where you have aqap, Al-Qaeda in the midst of the — basically a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, a proxy war. In the middle, there’s radical extremists that want to hit the United States.
