Senator being blackmailed once again?

Senator Lindsey Graham has vowed to introduce legislation in September or October to authorize a military attack on Iran.
“If nothing changes in Iran, come September, October, I
will present a resolution that will authorize the use of military force
to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb,” Graham told a
“cheering” audience at a meeting of the Christians United for Israel
organization.
“The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out,” he added.
Graham made the threat despite the fact that Iranian
president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be replaced by Hasan Rouhani on
August 4th, who is seen by many as a more moderate leader.
“The U.S. is no position to further extend its presence
overseas, especially since Congress approved Obama’s initiative to
support Syrian rebels by sending arms, ammunition, and perhaps anti-tank
weaponry,” reports PolicyMic.
“The U.S. is already indirectly dedicating resources to opposing Iran
since they are supporting al-Assad’s forces, along with aid from
Hezbollah. Potentially, if Graham’s initiative passes through Congress,
both nations could end up preemptively clashing on Syria’s battleground.
This would be a terrible outcome for the U.S., considering the
significant amount of manpower and resources already allocated abroad
and pressing economic issues at home.”
