“Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer Sunday morning that the developments in Iraq portended a new 9/11, a consequence he deemed “inevitable.”

“The decision to withdraw U.S. forces created a vacuum,” Graham said. “Syria is launching pad. …If the central government in Iraq collapses — and that’s the goal of ISIS — Iran will own southern part of Iraq, that’s where the Shiites live; they can operate ISIS from Baghdad to Kurdistan all the way in to Syria. They will eventually march on Jordan and Lebanon — our best ally in the region is the King of Jordan — and they will attack us from that part of Iraq and Syria.

“That a very serious statement,” Schieffer said.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
