my meineke. >>> joining me now, senator lindsay graham of south carolina.o have you in the studio. >> glad to be with you. >> i want to start with a couple of your colleagues, newt gingrich and rick santorum talking about the trayvon martin case. both saying it was a tragedy, but going out after the president saying that he is raising the race issue by saying if i had a son, he would look like trayvon martin. do you have a problem with that comment? >> i don't think it was overly helpful to the debate. we all know there's a racial component with this and when the president highlights it, i don't think it adds a whole lot but nobody subjects that the president is insensitive to the 17-year-old if he had been white. i think the criticism by our guys was a little off base and i don't really think the president added a whole lot by interjecting himself into it. so this is a situation that's very emotional, and justice will be done. it's good that we're looking at the actions of the man in question because the young man who lost his life wasn't armed and apparen

lindsay graham, senator cane kahn and others but it seems like there are more voices like you heard frome is popular opinion you cited. you can conduct a war that the country is strongly against it. part of that, i this, the reason for that is that we have a president willing to triple troops and put young americans at risk. but did not spend any capital politically supporting a war. there is a disconnect there. so all we see are news stories that are disasters, the burning of quran, rioting and a massacre we have. because that is where we are the weakest. we will have to negotiate a deal with pakistanis. we try to hold on to government that is neutral in the capital. that is the best we can achieve. >> bret: despite the remarks by president obama after quran he hasn't talked about afghanistan in major speeches that much. two of third of 1900 service members killed in afghanistan have been killed since 2009. since president obama's surge >> when the surge was instituted we were told casualties will go up. that's what we are doing. surging troops. they will fight on the front line. the pu

republicans are out in full forceful here's south carolina senator lindsay graham over the weekend. >> this is the center piece of the debate. the proper role of government. the vim whispered to the president when he sign the bill two years ago, this is a big f'ing deal. >> i want to bring in now congresswoman loretta sanchez. hiding from the win. congresswoman. i want to ask you, do you think that there would have been a lawsuit that these lawsuits would have been as prevalent as they were if somehow conservatives didn't think they had public opinion, at least not against them on this? i say not against them. nobody as a majority in their favor. there is a plurality that is unpopular. democrats have talk about this issue. whether they've sold it well enough or not. do you think if this law were more popular, there wouldn't have been as many lawsuits? >> the fact that this law is about 2,500 pages plus means there's a lot of thing for individuals not to like about it. and it mean it is difficult for people to understand what the law really does. when they look at the things that have

that we concluded half of a very important strategic partnership agreement, by the way, senator lindsay graham was a key element in and there was two sticking points. we got half of it done. we could conclude one part which would send a message to the bad guys that we are not leaving, and that's very important. i am pleased to note the administration is working very hard on that. if we can get back with karzai, i think it could change the environment to a more optimistic view. >> i left something hangingsing out there. do you agree that we have to have some presence there for perhaps as long as decades if we are really going to achieve our goals? >> we have troops in korea and japan and germany and troops all over the world, in countries all over the world. why is it okay with the american people? because we don't have casualties there. if we have a peaceful environment and long-term relationship with afghanistan, and a peaceful afghanistan, the american people wouldn't mind that. what they mind is obviously the continuous casualties and tragedies such as we have just seen. >> why isn't it too

senator lindsay graham, south carolina, republican.oe lieberman, former democrat, now independent. frank, they say we can't have a policy of iranian containment. but they really don't tell me what to do next. and i want to ask you for your thought. what is the next step in this iranian problem? >> well, just very quickly, to recap why you can't contain these guys, is because unlike the soviet union, which we contained for a long time until, happily, my old boss ronald reagan helped roll them up, these guys believe that the ideal state is to be in the next world and the faster they can get to it the better. specifically, they hope to bring about the golden age of islam by bringing back the mehdi, a messianic figure, the 12th imam, and the way to do that is to precipitate the apocalypse. so this is not the kind of thing that you're likely to contain. their ambitions are to use i believe these nuclear weapons and probably not just against israel but against us. so what do we do about it? i think we ought to be in the business of trying to

senator lindsay graham said as much on cnn's state of the union. >> the process was bad, the substanceg over like a lead balloon. the vice president whispered to the president when he signed the bill two years ago, this is a big fing deal. now it's a miss. >> let's check in with dan lothian. dan, the obama campaign actually sent a mass e-mail to supporters out, not only embracing the term obamacare, but raising money off of it. so is it a mess, is it not. >> reporter: it was david axelrod who spent the e-mail around with the re-election campaign. and in essence, what they're trying to do, not only just the campaign, but also the obama administration, is to show that health care reform is not a political liability. republicans have been hammering away, saying this is like an albatross around the president's neck, that it is a political liability. and that's what they said was the reason behind the president himself, not celebrating the two-year anniversary last friday. but they're saying the campaign, and this white house, that it is not a political liability, and they're laying out, as

so you have john mccain and lindsay graham who are going to argue we should not be accelerating the withdrawalu've got david cameron, the british prime minister coming for crucial talks this week on iran, on afghanistan. the pace of withdrawal leading up to, of course, the nato meetings in may. all of this taking place as mik pointed out, while there was a significant effort to, quote, win the hearts and minds. that's an echo of vietnam, of course. but here we had the policy of trying to win them over, and also at the same time persuade people that the taliban were a spent force. that we could negotiate some kind of withdrawal with the taliban. and now the taliban are going to be reenergized. we're waiting with baited breath. this is going to be a big debate in the u.s. about hastening withdrawal and a withdrawal not on the terms we wanted. >> and afghanistan back on the campaign trail. newt gingrich was asked in the immediate aftermath of this news story. in fact, as it was breaking, what he thought now about afghanistan policy for the united states in light of the events yesterday. here's wh

to hear from one of the president's trusted advisors on it will be upheld and you'll hear from lindsay graham on big trouble for democrats. >> how confident are you that the supreme court is going to uphold the individual mandate? >> well, you've seen jurors appointed by both democrats and republicans and lower courts uphold this law. two very important conservative jurists offering two different opinions. we think there's going to be a process that plays out this week and obviously the supreme court will deliberate. we'll continue to make sure we inform people of the benefits available to them. >> the vice president whispered to the president when he signed the bill a few years ago. this is a big f-ing deal and it's become a big f-ing deal for the country as well. >> there's a lot of use of interesting vocabulary going on the scene. rick santorum is adding to the bleeps that we can't tell you the real words. he's going to be outside of the supreme court today taking on health care. this is a smart political move for rick santorum today because this is going to, you know, make him different f
