Biden, Iran and Three Dead Americans​

The Commander in Chief’s weak response to attacks puts his Presidency at risk.​


It was bound to happen eventually, as President Biden was warned repeatedly. A drone or missile launched by Iran’s militia proxies would elude U.S. defenses and kill American soldiers. That’s what happened Sunday as three Americans were killed and 25 wounded at a U.S. base in Jordan near the Syrian border. The question now is what will the Commander in Chief do about it?
Mr. Biden issued a statement Sunday that “America’s heart is heavy” at the death of patriots who are the “best of our nation.” That sentiment is nice, and no doubt sincere, but at this point it is inadequate and infuriating.

The sorry truth is that these casualties are the result of the President’s policy choices. Mr. Biden has tolerated more than 150 Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East since October. Only occasionally has he or the Administration registered more than rhetorical displeasure by retaliating militarily, and only then with limited airstrikes.
The President refused to change course even after U.S. troops suffered traumatic brain injuries. A Christmas Day proxy attack in Iraq left a U.S. Army pilot in a coma. Last week, more than a month later, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Garrett Illerbrunnwas finally “sitting up in the chair for the first time for most of the day,” and “alert with both eyes opened and following,” his family’s medical blog says.

Mr. Biden vowed Sunday to “hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing,” though that stock line rings increasingly hollow. He has no choice now other than to approve strikes in retaliation, but targeting the responsible militia is insufficient. Mr. Biden and the Pentagon are playing Mideast Whac-a-Mole.

Everyone knows that the real orchestrator of these attacks is Iran. But the President has put his anxieties about upsetting Iran and risking escalation above his duty to defend U.S. soldiers abroad. It would have been more honest (if a sign of weakness) to withdraw American troops from the region, rather than consign them to catching Iranian drones for months.

The irony of Mr. Biden’s strategy—avoid escalation with Iran above all else—is that he’ll now have to strike back harder than if he had responded with devastating force the first time U.S. forces were hit, and every time since.

That probably includes hitting Iranian military or commercial assets. There are certainly risks of escalation from doing so. But Iran and its proxies are already escalating, and they have no incentive to stop unless they know their own forces are at risk. Here’s one idea: Put the Iranian spy ship that has been prowling the Red Sea on the ocean floor.

The alternative is a growing American body count. Iran’s clients in Yemen are continuing to fire at U.S. warships in the Red Sea while holding a vital shipping lane hostage. U.S. destroyers have managed to intercept Houthi volleys in a testament to American weapons technology and military professionalism. But eventually a drone or missile could elude U.S. defenses and sink a U.S. warship.

One thing to watch is whether the Administration will react to this attack by putting more pressure on Israel to stop its campaign against Hamas. This would validate the claim of the militias that they are merely targeting the U.S. because it supports Israel. And it would tell Iran that its militia drone and missile campaign has succeeded in easing pressure on Hamas. But it is how this Administration thinks.

Mr. Biden has spent months fretting about a broader regional war without confronting the reality that the U.S. is already in one. The result is that U.S. deterrence has collapsed in the region, and Americans are dying. Mr. Biden’s repeated displays of weakness are inviting more attacks. In the 1970s, Iran helped to ruin Jimmy Carter’s Presidency by seizing hostages. Mr. Biden should worry that it will also take down his Presidency if he won’t respond with enough force that the mullahs get the message.

Bunch of buncombe. “That sentiment is nice, and no doubt sincere, but at this point it is inadequate and infuriating.”
Big whoop. Hide and watch.

Fun Fact, that song was originally written for the tag team of Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo who were using Born in the USA, as they were feuding with Sheik/Volkoff, but the WWF didn't want to pay royalties, so they started producing their own music, Windham left the WWF/E and was replaced with Danny Spivey and the team fizzled out.. Hogan had to quit using Eye of the Tiger, so they switched it to him...there was a weird 'Hulk's Theme/Anthem' he used for a bit, but Real American eventually stuck.

Resume war talk.

They are fine with us clubbing some militants. It might be time to go all John McCain and “Bomb, bomb, Iran”.

I think whatever action we take has to actually hurt the Iranians. Something sufficient for them to back off.

Not sure what those targets would be but Joes national security team probably can provide a good list.

Iran Distances Itself From US Base Attack as Biden Urged to Act

Iran sought to distance itself from a deadly attack on a US base in Jordan by Tehran-backed militants, as President Joe Biden faced mounting pressure to respond fiercely against the Islamic Republic.

Iran is already at war with us. When will Team Biden notice?​


Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have already launched a war against the United States. But no one in the Biden administration wants to admit it.

This became even more painfully obvious on Sunday, when dozens of Americans paid the price for the White House’s dithering in holding Iran to account.

Three U.S. service members were killed and more than 34 injured during a drone attack close to the Jordanian-Syrian border. President Biden was quick to condemn the attack and noted, “While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”

Sunday’s loss of life has been a Biden administration trainwreck long in the making. Biden’s staff clearly do not understand Iran. This is the second major underestimation of Iranian intentions and capabilities.

The first came in September, when Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security advisor, fatefully asserted that “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” Eight days later, Hamas struck Israel, using Iranian resources and an Iranian-approved attack plan.

Sullivan has failed to acknowledge, let alone counter, the clear and present danger Iran represents to U.S. national security interests across the Middle East. He is evidently living in a fantasy land when it comes to proactively addressing the kinetic threats posted by the IRGC and is setting the president up for failure in the Middle East.

For his own part, Biden provided the second underestimation two weeks ago, when he foolishly boasted after the Joint U.S.-United Kingdom strike on Houthi targets in Yemen, “I’ve already delivered a message to Iran. They know not to do anything.”

Except they did, and Americans died as a result. Iran once again leveraged its proxies to attack an American base — the 159th such attack on U.S. forces in the region since Oct. 17. It is unconscionable that this base could have been struck by an unmanned aerial drone attack, given the defensive weapons available to protect the base from just such an attack.

When will Biden, his national security team and Capitol Hill wake up to the reality that Khamenei is already at war with the U.S., whether they want to admit it or not?

Decisions have consequences and it's time for Iran to find out......bigly. I am seeing reports that they're denying involvement. If we have intel to the contrary, hit them hard. Let them deny all they want. It's time for the mouthy little guy to get his comeuppance.
