Then Biden’s handlers turn around and offer Iran massive sanctions relief. So the U.S. will end up paying for these unmanned aerial vehicle attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, who shouldn’t be there in the first place.
“Biden orders airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups,” by Barbara Starr, CNN, June 27, 2021:
(CNN)President Joe Biden directed military forces to conduct defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region on Sunday evening, according to a news release from the Department of Defense.
“The targets were selected because these facilities are utilized by Iran-backed militias that are engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq. Specifically, the U.S. strikes targeted operational and weapons storage facilities at two locations in Syria and one location in Iraq, both of which lie close to the border between those countries,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in the release.
“As demonstrated by this evening’s strikes, President Biden has been clear that he will act to protect U.S. personnel. Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, the President directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks,” Kirby said.
Returning to the White House Sunday evening from a weekend at Camp David, Biden did not stop to answer questions about the airstrikes, telling reporters gathered on the South Lawn, “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Sunday evening that the airstrikes “appear to be a targeted and proportional response to a serious and specific threat.”
“Protecting the military heroes who defend our freedoms is a sacred priority….”
Oh, the sanctimonious hypocrisy…
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is an affront to the Office of Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a catastrophe for America and a disaster for the American people.
Furthermore, with Joe Biden this if the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no real US President, only a criminally installed figurehead.
mortimer says
IDIOTS ! They are handing out cash Iran’s mullahocracy and they reply with FUNDING MORE TERRORISM against the US and her allies!
The Bribed-man bunch are paying Iran to fight the US and then forking out lots more money to fight back … when all they had to do was NOT TO SEND CASH TO IRAN in the first place and keep the sanctions in place.
Iran is the headquarters of taqiyya.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is continuing all the same old terribly awful and flawed international and national policies of his former boss, Obama. Biden isn’t just a feeble minded idiot. This is because since he is now sitting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a real American President , he is therefore a very dangerous feeble-minded idiot.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Never thought the rest of the world would ever see a U S A president, as pathetic as Joe Biden.
The previous US election was a dismal failure even by the worst African standard. To have an D O J, F B I, C I A, that is Democrat controlled and used to intimidate, persecute the Opposition Republicans, is a disaster for the world and for the American citizen.
PRCS says
Were he to be incapacitated or die while in office, his successor–the Cackling Queen–would be worse.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
You are so right.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed. Even Democrats wisely rejected her in the Primaries.
PRCS says
With the pilot shortage, I imagine you’re not hurting for flight time.
Daniel Triplett says
The freight guys are doing great. Covid exponentially increased online retail and shipping. With only two gorillas in the game (UPS/FDX) these two pilot unions write the contracts on their terms. Pax pilots not so much. A whole lot of pain over the last 17 months. Pax flying is a razor-thin profit margin anyway even in good times. No leverage for pilots.
Kashyap says
Good move. This ought to have done this long ago.
Infidel says
The way this government is acting is as though someone has given them the task of spending $100,000,000,000,000 in the shortest possible time! Which is why they’re paying for such airstrikes as well as offering the Iranians billions. It may be a part of their goal to go cashless, since I doubt that there are enough trees in the entire world to print all that cash. Oh, and btw, by the time they are done, the US$ will be as worthless as currencies of countries like Zimbabwe and Uzbekistan

FUN FACT:
1 one-dollar bill is 0.0043 inches thick (high).
A stack of 1 Trillion one-dollar bills is 67,866 miles high.
James Lincoln says
Daniel,
I believe that your math is correct!
Also, the circumference of the earth is approximately 24,901 miles.
Those one-dollar bills could also circle the globe approximately 2.72 times…
Daniel Triplett says
That’s right James. It really puts all these extra Stimulus, Covid, and Infrastructure bills into perspective.
Our $28.464 Trillion national debt is 1,931,727 miles high. That’s 8X the distance to the moon.
Infidel says
Thanks
Another fun fact – if you had to go back one second for every one of those dollar bills….
– For $1,000,000, you’d end up last week
– For $1,000,000,000, you’d end up in 1989. You could relive the Berlin Wall, or enjoy the height of glam metal music
– For $1,000,000,000,000, you’d end up in the Paleolithic era
Daniel Triplett says
Wow. That’s remarkable. Big difference between 1 Billion and 1 Trillion.
Here’s another FUN FACT: The power of compound interest, through gambling, investing, business, etc:
Beginning with a $1000 investment on Day 1;
10% Daily Compounding:
Day 1 $1000
Day 49 $100,000
Day 73 $1 Million
Day 145 $1 Billion
Day 218 $1 Trillion
PRCS says
Whew!
PRCS says
Well, he probably will be in trouble now.
Rbla says
A reward to Milley and the generals for supporting the Dems critical race theory agenda. More promotions, more medals, more resources and power. He’s got to keep one of the important parts of the abolish America coalition happy.
gravenimage says
Biden’s handlers order airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed jihad groups
……………..
But then, Biden is also appeasing Iran and shoveling money at the Mullahs…
Good to know we don’t have a coherent foreign policy…
Giacomo Latta says
”Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq”
It will take a coordinated effort among all branches of the US military to convince Biden that the money he is giving Iran no-strings-attached is being used to kill US military personnel that he, supposedly, is interested in protecting.
