Democrat 2020 hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden berated President Trump for giving the order to take out Iranian terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani in a Baghdad drone strike Thursday night.
"No American will mourn Qassem Soleimani's passing. He deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region. He supported terror and sowed chaos. None of that negates the fact that this a hugely escalator move in an already dangerous region. The Administration's statement says that its goal is to deter future attacks by Iran, but this action almost certainly will have the opposite effect. President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox, and he owes the American people an explanation of the strategy and plan to seep safe our troops and embassy personnel, our people and our interests, both here at home and abroad, and our partners throughout the region and beyond," Biden released in a statement.
"I'm not privy to the intelligence and much remains unknown, but Iran will surely respond. We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East. I hope the Administration has thought through the second and third order consequences of the path they have chosen. But I fear this Administration has not demonstrated at any turn the discipline or long-term vision necessary and the stakes could not be higher," he continued.
For years the Trump administration has clearly and succinctly laid out it's policy toward Iran: maximum pressure through sanctions and military force when necessary to protect Americans and U.S. interests. It's working and has reversed the failed Obama/Biden appeasement polices toward the terrorist regime.
Soleimani was planning imminent attacks in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon against American targets. President Trump took decisive action to prevent him from doing so, saving lives.
Biden's reaction is typical and wrong. After all, he's blown pretty much every foreign policy call he's ever made over the past four decades. He advised President Obama not to go after Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
Over to you, Secretary Gates.
So I guess Biden would have arrested him or at least sent a stern letter.
He’s the same brand of foreign policy wizard that Buttcrack Hussein is.
Or tell him he'd like to take him out behind the shed, or challenge him to a push up contest.
Kohamani gets moved to the top of the list.
“I’m not privy to the intelligence and much remains unknown...”
Then assume that the President has better intel than you do and shut your pie-hole, you hair-sniffing idiot.
But he’ll let you rub his hairy legs. That’s a plus, right? (For Buttplug supporters)
I imagine Quid Pro Quo Joe's policy would be to send Iran pallets of cash with some of it accidentally sticking to his fingers.
Examples of his genius while in office:
Libya
Egypt
Yemen
Assasination of an American citizen by drone strike
One thing you can always count on. If it’s foreign policy, Joe’s got it all wrong. He’s been very consistent in that for his entire political career.
Dang, so many sources of income drying up, eh Bidet?
I am surprised at the strong knee jerk reaction of the liberals and various Hollywood idiots, to this action.
It’s as if they have a knee jerk reaction, that they need to oppose any action taken by Trump.
“I’m not privy to the intelligence and much remains unknown,”
That’s right Joe, I question your intelligence also.
Now put your bathrobe back on.
No, he does not. He's the commander in chief; he gets to make these decisions and we either trust him or we don't.
Of course they will. And we will respond tenfold until they figure it out.
We have a POTUS who can and does make decisions....making decisions is a foreign to the left....
Basically Biden is saying a President should determine the political aftermath of saving American lives, before he actually jumps in to protect Americans. But doing, nothing like in Benghazi, just lets them get tortured and killed. Live. On video.
My anger with these people has become RAGE I can’t believe what this country has become, absolutely pitiful, shameful AND to think that the Iranians see all of this BS is just sickening!!! What an outrage the Dems have become!!!
....and Hitlery has stayed out of prison...amazing.
