STEPHANOPOULOS: "Senator Graham, let me ask you about Afghanistan, some news breaking this morning. An American soldier reports that he went -- went rogue and essentially killed at least 15 Afghan civilians. Everyone is bracing now for another backlash, similar to what we saw after the burning of the Korans.
"You've raised some serious questions about the mission, even though you do support it. Are you getting worried that it's not sustainable?"
GRAHAM: "No, I believe, one, this is tragic and will be investigated, and that soldier will be held accountable for his actions under the military justice system. Unfortunately, these things happen in war. You had an Israeli soldier kill worshippers by the Dome of the Rock mosque. You just have to push through these things."
---------------------------------------------
Yeah, I'm sure if an Afghan national walked into a shopping mall and slaughtered 16 Americans -- including 9 children -- Graham's response would be, "Well, sh*t happens. Onward."
