Rep. Waltz: Biden ‘Deliberately’ Sabotaging Surprise Element in Response to Iran-Backed Attack on U.S. Troops
Breitbart ^ | 2 Feb 2024 | JOSHUA KLEIN

President Joe Biden is “deliberately” sabotaging any element of surprise in his planned response to the recent killing of three U.S. troops in an attack by Iran-backed militias, according to Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), who is calling for both a “strong military response” and a “complete policy shift” to return to former President Donald Trump’s “maximum” economic pressure on the Iranian regime.

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Friday, Waltz, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, House Armed Services Committee, and House Foreign Affairs Committee, addressed the U.S. military’s recent announcement that three American troops were killed and 25 injured in a drone attack in Jordan.

“Three American service members are dead and dozens injured, and now the Biden administration is deliberately telegraphing to Iran what their response will be — eliminating any element of surprise,” he said, referring to Biden’s announcement of his decision on a response to the strike Tuesday, which included his reassurance he does not seek a “wider war in the Middle East.”

The Florida congressman, who served as a Special Forces commander in Afghanistan, expressed his fear that Biden is “once again trying to check the box with meaningless strikes that target warehouses rather than punish the Iran regime.”

According to Waltz, who is a colonel in the National Guard as well as a former White House and Pentagon policy adviser and the first Green Beret to be elected to Congress, “not only does this require a strong military response but also a complete policy shift back to the Trump maximum pressure on Iran’s economy.”

The news reports said we used over 125 “precision” weapons. I don’t want to use precision weapons. I want to know how many of the b******* we killed.

It’s obvious we are telegraphing our military plans for political reasons.

Maybe Biden is following direct orders from Obozo since Iran was one of O’s biggest favorites.

Biden goons told Iran exactly what targets would be hit so the terrorists already left, days ago..so basically all they hit were some rocket buildings so yeah they probably knocked out some rockets but the rest were just empty buildings which was the whole point this way Biden can say “See I did something” can you all imagine had Trump told everyone in advance what places he would strike, the commie media would have called for his immediate impeachment

The Iranians know the likely targets. They have had plenty of time to deploy their portable Chinese made SAM missiles in clever traps if aircraft instead of drones and missiles are used to make bombing runs. The whole Muslim Mideast would celebrate if they managed to down an American aircraft. Few Americans comprehend the depth of the antipathy these people hold against us.

I wonder if our “precision weapons” are multimillion dollar weapons trying to intercept their thousand dollar drones?

Well, after he and his handler gave them the bomb, he doesn’t want to piss them off too much.

Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf is the main terminal for Iran’s oil exports, about 85%. About 50 huge oil tanks are there. Oil burns very well. Iran would be economically crippled and have little money to subsidize terrorists.

WHY IS KHARG iSLAND NOT BURNING?

“Iran backed”

Can someone here specifically define the meaning of this term?
It’s been in every Middle East news story for months without proof or definition.

The purpose of these strikes is not retaliation, it is to start World War 3 on American Shores. The army of Guerrilla fighters are in place. They are just waiting for the command. Oh, and watch what China does on Sunday.. Buckle Up.
