Graham notes rising Iraq skepticism in South Carolina
U S Senator Lindsey Graham tells The State that both Republicans and Democrats back home are increasingly asking why the U S remains in Iraq. He cites church, business leaders and public sentiment as signs of a national shift, while experts warn the state could reflect broader waning support for the policy. Local voters express mixed views joining veterans like Harry Rollins in reassessing the war’s progress.
