Lindsay Graham equates Gaddafi with Hitler.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned on Tuesday that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi is "serious" about attacking European cities in order to pressure European officials to cease their airstrikes against Libya.

"He actually means it," Graham said of Gadhafi. "Hitler meant it. He means it."

Graham spoke in a colloquy with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and used borderline apocalyptic tones about the need to remove Gadhafi from power.

"I know we're a war-weary nation, but there is no upside to Gadhafi staying in power," he said. "That is a national security nightmare for this country." - The Hill

Indeed - and one entirely of our own making. I think Graham is right that Gaddafi's threats should be taken very seriously. Would that Graham take seriously the possibility of such things before advocating for military interventions.
