3 US Serviceman dead, 24 wounded from a drone attack by an Iranian backed group
Senile Biden funded Iran to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
What did he expect?
Senile Biden is a fucking imbecile who is now getting Americans killed because of his ineptitude

Senile Biden and Obama seem to have a perverted love affair with the Ayatollah’s “regime of terror.”
Why aren't CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN telling their viewers that Senile Biden gave Iran billions of dollars which funded the deaths of Americans? Oh yeah, that is because CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN are DNC mouthpieces who are famous for DNC propaganda and fake news that they know they can fool their dimwitted viewers with

Senile Biden emboldened Iran for years by bribing the ayatollahs with billions of dollars and appeasing them to no end. He left our troops as sitting ducks and now three are dead and dozens wounded

Maybe Biden should send U.S. Capitol Police officers to Jordan next time. That way, trump supporters won't get so bent out of shape if/when they get killed.

Think about this. While all decent Americans pray for the three American soldiers needlessly sacrificed by an incompetent Senile Biden regime who has funded Iran, we have people on the left laughing at these soldiers death
Do any of the other leftists condone laughing at US Servicemen being killed? Or are they willing to stand up for what is right?

One has to wonder why trump supporters care about certain U.S. servicemen dying more than others. Seems hypocritical given their feelings about other recent attacks on those who serve our nation.

How about, rather than pointing the blame at the president, you place the blame on the people who actually ordered the drone strike.
Unless, for comparison, you personally blame Chris Kempczinski whenever one of the fast food staff at McDonalds messes up your order? That doesn't make any sense. MAGAs don't make any sense.

As usual, the Wall Street Journal nails it:
Biden, Iran and Three Dead Americans
The Commander in Chief’s weak response to attacks puts his Presidency at risk.
By The Editorial Board
Updated Jan. 28, 2024 5:39 pm ET
It was bound to happen eventually, as President Biden was warned repeatedly. A drone or missile launched by Iran’s militia proxies would elude U.S. defenses and kill American soldiers. That’s what happened Sunday as three Americans were killed and 25 wounded at a U.S. base in Jordan near the Syrian border. The question now is what will the Commander in Chief do about it?
Mr. Biden issued a statement Sunday that “America’s heart is heavy” at the death of patriots who are the “best of our nation.” That sentiment is nice, and no doubt sincere, but at this point it is inadequate and infuriating.
The sorry truth is that these casualties are the result of the President’s policy choices. Mr. Biden has tolerated more than 150 Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East since October. Only occasionally has he or the Administration registered more than rhetorical displeasure by retaliating militarily, and only then with limited airstrikes.
The President refused to change course even after U.S. troops suffered traumatic brain injuries. A Christmas Day proxy attack in Iraq left a U.S. Army pilot in a coma. Last week, more than a month later, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Garrett Illerbrunn was finally “sitting up in the chair for the first time for most of the day,” and “alert with both eyes opened and following,” his family’s medical blog says.
Mr. Biden vowed Sunday to “hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing,” though that stock line rings increasingly hollow. He has no choice now other than to approve strikes in retaliation, but targeting the responsible militia is insufficient. Mr. Biden and the Pentagon are playing Mideast Whac-a-Mole.
Everyone knows that the real orchestrator of these attacks is Iran. But the President has put his anxieties about upsetting Iran and risking escalation above his duty to defend U.S. soldiers abroad. It would have been more honest (if a sign of weakness) to withdraw American troops from the region, rather than consign them to catching Iranian drones for months.
The irony of Mr. Biden’s strategy—avoid escalation with Iran above all else—is that he’ll now have to strike back harder than if he had responded with devastating force the first time U.S. forces were hit, and every time since.
That probably includes hitting Iranian military or commercial assets. There are certainly risks of escalation from doing so. But Iran and its proxies are already escalating, and they have no incentive to stop unless they know their own forces are at risk. Here’s one idea: Put the Iranian spy ship that has been prowling the Red Sea on the ocean floor.
The alternative is a growing American body count. Iran’s clients in Yemen are continuing to fire at U.S. warships in the Red Sea while holding a vital shipping lane hostage. U.S. destroyers have managed to intercept Houthi volleys in a testament to American weapons technology and military professionalism. But eventually a drone or missile could elude U.S. defenses and sink a U.S. warship.
One thing to watch is whether the Administration will react to this attack by putting more pressure on Israel to stop its campaign against Hamas. This would validate the claim of the militias that they are merely targeting the U.S. because it supports Israel. And it would tell Iran that its militia drone and missile campaign has succeeded in easing pressure on Hamas. But it is how this Administration thinks.
Mr. Biden has spent months fretting about a broader regional war without confronting the reality that the U.S. is already in one. The result is that U.S. deterrence has collapsed in the region, and Americans are dying. Mr. Biden’s repeated displays of weakness are inviting more attacks. In the 1970s, Iran helped to ruin Jimmy Carter’s Presidency by seizing hostages. Mr. Biden should worry that it will also take down his Presidency if he won’t respond with enough force that the mullahs get the message.

Read the WSJ piece I just posted:
