Lindsey Graham actually said...

"There is a parochial nature of Congress which is, I am sure, frustrating for managers, but it is part of democracy."

"Do we put winning at risk?"

"If we go forward with sequestration, we will be doing the most damage, far beyond what any enemy has been able to do to the U.S. Air Force in terms of capability."

"In my view, Congress would be doing more damage to the Air Force than any enemy, present or future."
