At least four U.S. citizens are believed to be among those killed in Israel during Saturday's Hamas attacks, senior U.S. officials told U.S. lawmakers during a Sunday night briefing.

According to several people familiar with the briefing, held by senior State Department and Defense officials, the total likely to rise in the coming days.

The White House confirmed "several" deaths of U.S. citizens earlier in the day, after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden administration was working overtime to verify U.S. casualties and hostages.

And probably killed with American made weapons that came in from Afghanistan via the Taliban.

I'm hearing on the news since getting up that it is at least 9 and that an unknown number are being held hostage.

Today is a holiday, by tomorrow the country will have had the long weekend digesting the news of Americans killed, abused, and held hostage.

Give credit to Biden, he did finally speak up in defense of America, as have most or all of the candidates, though I question some of the statements. Biden did order the Ford to head towards Israel.

Anyway, what next? We need a declaration of war and direct action to protect and defend Americans.

Declaration of war? You sure about that? American troops on the ground for a little urban warfare? I’m thinking, “no.”

No, but American Airstrikes. Killing Americans can’t go unanswered.

Obama and Biden set the table for this, which is why they had a party at the WH yesterday.

Reagan ordered Qadaffi’s home be bombed after he had several Americans murdered in Germany.

We should do the same thing to the leadership of Hamas.

Americans who are “dual citizens” and who have taken up residence in the country of their other citizenship shouldn’t even be counted as American citizens in these reports.

If there is a time for a declaration of war, isn't it when Americans are killed, abused, and held hostage? Do we ignore, surrender, or leave it to others? Have we, as a nation, fallen to that low point, depending upon others for our own defense and honor?

No, declare war, own it, prosecute, finish it.

Oh, please.

Do you feel the same way about Latin American anchor babies here in the U.S.?

Don’t lecture others about not being Amrican when you have a Zambian flag, and not an American one or a State one on your front page.
