Sen. Graham Unleashes on NKorea: Time to Use 'Threat of Military Option'

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Friday said it's time for the U.S. to use "the threat of a credible military option" against North Korea.

The South Carolina Republican has had enough of the rogue nation after it launched another missile early Friday that whizzed over Japan.

Clearly North Korea does not give a damn about UN sanctions or tough talk.

It is time to more forcefully back up our diplomatic efforts with the threat of a credible military option.

The intermediate missile flew 2,300 miles, putting it in range of the U.S. territory of Guam, an island that North Korea has threatened previously.

North Korea believes there is no downside to pushing the envelope regarding their missile and nuclear programs.

It is up to the Trump Administration and the world to make North Korea believe otherwise.

Graham in August praised President Donald Trump for using the "right rhetoric" in challenging North Korea.
