“At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria. These strikes were authorized in response to recent attacks against American and Coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel. Specifically, the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kait’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kait’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).
This proportionate military response was conducted together with diplomatic measures, including consultation with Coalition partners. The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and Coalition personnel. At the same time, we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to de-escalate the overall situation in both eastern Syria and Iraq.”
How is this even possible for a potus who hasn’t even addressed a Joint Session of Congress.
I figure its just a matter of time before we’re in a war over there. The Globalists love their little wars.
Oh well.. those who voted for him are OK with endless wars.
“This proportionate military response” -— that’s the problem tight there.
I thought one fought to win. Silly me.
I was rooting for the Central African Republic.
See #8.
me for the Belgian Congo...or is that Zaire...or?
What recent attacks on Americans? The media hasn’t mentioned anything before this has it?
I don’t think he ordered this! I want to see how it hashes out and then we will know for sure..
“Kait’ib Hezbollah”
I don’t mourn them. I say kill them all day long, and pick up the pace overnight.
maybe I’m too soft on them...
Defensive my a**
It was probably one of those things he signed....he probably doesn’t remember doing it.
“What recent attacks on Americans?”
They recently (now that Trump’s finger is no longer on the trigger) resumed their old tactic of firing rockets at American bases in Baghdad, and even in Erbil (which was formerly about the safest place in Iraq for Americans).
It is an effort to make Biden look tough on Iran without actually doing anything serious to Iran. It is also a distraction from Biden’s pro-Iran moves to undermine the Saudi’s war on Iran in Yemen and a way to distract from the next move to help Iran by undermining the Saudi ruler over the killing of the Washington Post’s pet terrorist reporter Kashoggi.
Likely but how the aftermath goes will tell things.
*** “...we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to de-escalate the overall situation in both eastern Syria and Iraq.”
In whose syphilitic rotted brain? In what alternate reality?
Of note, significantly I believe, is this PR is on the DOD website. Just looked, and there is still NOTHING on the WH website.
Your regularly scheduled program now resumes....
