WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend, according the the U.S. military and officials.
President Joe Biden and other top U.S. leaders had been warning for days that America would strike back at the militias, and they made it clear it wouldn’t be just one hit but a “tiered response” over time.
“This afternoon, at my direction, U.S. military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack U.S. forces,” Biden said in a statement. “Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing.”

Reporter Andrea Mitchell asked Biden, "Now that you have attacked Syria and Iraq for the Iranian drone attack, what will you do if Iran attacks more troops in..........say..........Yemen?"

"If Iran attacks the US in Yemen, then I bomb the hell out of India!" said Biden.

"But what did India do to deserve that?" asked Mitchell.

"Nothing, but attacking Iran directly after they attacked us is out of the question. What, do you want to start World War 3?", protested Biden.

It's a wonder the B1Bs did not airdrop pallets of cash.

Biden Can't Deter Iran. He's in Bed With Iran.

The White House's perpetual appeasement of the mullocracy isn't about cowardice, but complicity. It's poised to sacrifice Israel for Iran next

Do you always play make believe?

There is nothing make believe about Iran's number one cash supporter, Barack Obama. Biden was his sidekick so not all that far-fetched.
