US will launch wars no matter which party win the White House: Journalist

The United Sates will launch new wars around the world regardless of who is voted as president and which political party takes control of the White House in 2016, a political commentator in New York says.

There will be “more war” no matter which of the Republican or Democratic candidates is elected, said Don DeBar, who is also an anti-war activist and radio show host.

“There’s going to be more war coming from the United States until the people of the United States and the world puts a stop to it,” DeBar told Press TV on Friday.

The US “has declared war on the rest of the world in one fashion or the other, whether using military means directly as in Libya, whether using military means by proxy as in Syria and in Iraq or elsewhere, whether by direct occupation by proxy,” he added.

DeBar made the comments after US Senator and Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham told Americans to vote for him if they want more wars and avoid 9/11 like terrorist attacks.

In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, co-host Steve Doocy questioned Graham’s past war rhetoric. “A lot of people are just worn out by war,” Doocy told the longtime senator from South Carolina.

"Well, don’t vote for me," Graham responded. "Don't vote for me, because I’m telling you what’s coming: [US President] Barack Obama’s policies leading from behind are going to allow another 9/11."

"ISIL is large, rich and entrenched,” he added. “If I’m president they will be poor, small and on the run.”

Graham, a known war hawk, officially launched his 2016 presidential campaign on Monday. His entry will further swell the crowded Republican field, whose candidates will increasingly battle for not only votes but fundraising.
