During an interview with the Fox News Channel that took place on Tuesday and was released on Wednesday on the “Fox News Rundown” podcast “Evening Edition,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin responded to a question on whether he and President Joe Biden urged Israel to avoid striking Iran’s nuclear sites or oil facilities and why those sites and/or facilities shouldn’t be hit by stating that Israel will ultimately decide what they do and do not strike, but, in his view, he believes that “if you’re conducting a military strike, it ought to be against military targets.”

Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin asked, [relevant exchange begins around 20:45] “Did you and President Biden encourage the Israelis not to strike Iran’s nuclear sites or oil facilities? Why not strike those targets?”

Bibi should tell him to get bent

[TTFlyer]

Austin must have flunked out of War College.

[rktman]

Ineptness appears to be a qualifier for this (b)administration.

[Ingtar]

So wartime USA should not have fire bombed German and Japanese cities in WWII?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think he mastered in Wokeism and Social Engineering of Undeveloped Young Minds.

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

How are nuclear sites considered to be non-military?

[j.havenfarm]

Aren’t you even sorry about the intelligence leak? Do you really really have to give more bad advice, publicly,
To these warriors?

[faithhopecharity]

the Iranian dictators’ nuclear bomb and ICBM rocket sites ARE military targets, indeed they are prime, grade A military targets.

So we see right out in the open how the CommieNazis in the WashingtonDC regime are working overtime to protect the Iranian nuclear bombs (and the intercontinental missiles being built to carry the nuclear bombs to strike USA).

The Iranian dictators have repeatedly stated / threatened to strike America first (we are their “Great Satan” — they plan to destroy USA first and only then attack Jerusalem and to take over the gulf oil resources).

Bibi should tell him and his bosses all to get bent.

[Sertorius]

It is opposite day.

[HYPOCRACY]

Nobody in this administration has an IQ over 70. These are chimps playing with matches.

[Roadrunner383]

Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah only hit military targets, right?

[Redleg Duke]

Another Obozo Affirmative Action “General”!

[Taxman]

The prime qualification to be a member of the Democrat Party seems to be that they have a low IQ and are bat-shit crazy!

[metmom]

IOW, Israel SHOULD strike nuclear and oil sites.

Everything this administration tells Israel to do is the exact WRONG thing. It’s the thing that will enable terrorism and protect Iran.

[wafflehouse]

seriously, that kind of asinine statement might fly for a mostly retarded civilian 'political appointee' but this guy was an effing general!
a general that has no idea what a military target is. god help us if we get into a shooting war somewhere.

[abbastanza]

I hope Bibi doesn’t pay any attention to this crap, because it’s bad advice from a knucklehead.

[Democrat = party of treason]

Whoever is running Iran needs to be taken out, period.

[Bonemaker]

Austin....a 4 star ringpiece.

[SunkenCiv]

Israel thanks Austin for the advice. :^) How about not leaking information to Iran, *******?
