With all due respect to Sen. McCain and Graham (don't ask me how much is actually due), I'd love for them to "connect the dots" on how sending troops to Iraq would actually (a) save more American lives from hypothetical terror attacks than it would cost in military casualties, and (b) how it would actually stop a Charlie Hebdo-style "two guys with guns" type of attack on US soil in the future.

"Get tough" is the conservative answer to everything. No matter how stupid and counterproductive it may be in the case at hand.
Why Republican fear-mongering about France is detached from reality
What would we do without John McCain and Lindsey Graham to protect us?
The same way attacking Iraq caught Osama bin Laden and avenged the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Oh, wait…
