Weakness gets Americans killed.
The Biden administration has spent the past week offering Iran every possible incentive and apology for the Israeli assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran. The message was that Biden did not want to escalate.
And Iran responded to that show of weakness as anticipated.
Several U.S. personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack at the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq, according to U.S. defense officials.
A U.S. defense official confirmed the suspected rocket attack to Fox News on Monday afternoon. According to Reuters, at least two Katyusha rockets were fired towards the base.
Speaking to Fox News, the official said that “several” U.S. personnel were injured during the incident.
The rocket attacks by Shiite PMU militias in Iraq, run by Iran, targeting U.S. bases and personnel have been going on for a long time. After a previous attack killed three U.S. servicemembers, they were supposed to have come to a halt. Private backchannel talks suggested that they would not be happening again.
Biden took Iran at its word and this is result.
This was back in January.
Top U.S. leaders issued a warning on Sunday to Iran-backed militants, a day after a drone attack killed three U.S. troops in Jordan, dramatically escalating the situation in the Middle East.
“We had a tough day last night in the Middle East. We lost three brave souls in an attack on one of our bases,” President Joe Biden said in South Carolina.
He then asked for a moment of silence and added: “And we shall respond.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he was “outraged and deeply saddened” by the deaths and vowed that the strike would not go unanswered.
“Iran-backed militias are responsible for these continued attacks on U.S. forces, and we will respond at a time and place of our choosing,” he said in a statement. “The president and I will not tolerate attacks on American forces, and we will take all necessary actions to defend the United States, our troops, and our interests.”
Three U.S. service members were killed and 25 more were wounded Saturday night in the drone attack
Feeble as those threats were, they at least got Iran to put on a show of backing down. The show of appeasement recently produced the opposite result.
As it always does.
Weakness gets Americans killed. Biden is weak. Kamala is even weaker. Pleading with Iran for restraint encouraged the Islamic terrorist state to push and see how weak D.C. is.
When Iranian leaders chant “Death to America”, they mean it. When our leaders promised to stand up for America, they don’t.

vWeak “mullah regime” of appeasing Joe Biden is treacherous villain against the United States.
One on the main “reasons” why that traitor Joe is so very placate to that hostile America hating Islamic tyranny of Iran i might be because in the year of 2020 those jihad -minded Muslim despots in power in Iran did everything they could by ,as far as they could get away with it, to meddle and interfere in the US Presidential election system to have Joe Biden sitting in the Oval Office of the White House as their tool and useful idiot to fulfill their jihadist goals. [1]
In all likelihood knew about this but didn’t care as long it was to aid him in obtaining the Office of the President of the United State . Corrupt old Joe is as unethical as ascrook can possibly be.
Therefore, Biden doesn’t want those tyrants to expose what a cheating election stealing character to he strives to appease those Muslim dictators in control and power in Iran.

Walter Sieruk says
Nothing else can be expected from Joe Biden but betrayal of America and the American people by his appeasement towards the enemy of the United States, which is Is that bellicose US hating Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
Subversive treasonous old Joe with his comrades in the Red/Green Alliance.

The Teddy Roosevelt slogan was “Speak softly but carry a big stick”
Biden has scrambled that to “Speak threatening and carry no stick’.

The Bidens must be relieved that the missiles hit US and not Israeli forces. Given that they’ve found it increasingly difficult to restrain the Israelis, but they can order the Pentagon to act like nothing’s happened
An end to this administration can’t happen soon enough

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.” Winston Churchill. An apt description of Biden.
