I’ve been trying to determine whether any Senators on Foreign Affairs asked Brian Hook why he sent the captain of an oil tanker an out-of-the-blue Nigerian prince email offering him millions of dollars to let the United States have his ship, but I have no indication they did.

I find this episode fascinating just as an exercise in revealing the truest, deepest core beliefs of Lindsey Graham. The thing he cares about above all others.

I cannot see any scenario wherein Iran invades Syria to control their oil. There has always been a deep relationship between Iran and Syria and indeed Iran through Hezbollah propped up and fought for Assad
