The Jerusalem Post’s editors take a dim view of Biden’s threat to halt military aid — 500-pound bombs, 2000-pound bombs, artillery shells — if the IDF goes beyond the outer perimeter of Rafah. They soberly set out all the reasons why the Bidenite distancing itself from its ally, Israel, makes no strategic or moral sense. […]
Biden Risks American Lives to Protect Hamas
No Americans should die to protect Hamas supporters in Gaza. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently admitted at a congressional hearing that American soldiers operating Biden’s disastrous “aid pier” for Gaza could come under attack from Islamic terrorists. Biden has not sent a single soldier to recover American hostages being held by Hamas, but there are now […]
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirms Biden administration withholding arms from Israel over Rafah
In other words, Israel is being sanctioned by the Biden administration in its defensive war against Hamas, a jihad terrorist organization which proved on October 7 its ability to be savagely inhumane. It’s a major policy shift by the U.S. which will be noted by Iran, Hamas, and, in fact, all of Israel’s (and America’s) […]
No One Was Running the Pentagon as US Navy Fought Iran-Backed Terrorists
Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Is this an outrage or a perfect metaphor for this administration in which no one is in the driver’s seat? Sometimes literally. Amid tensions in the Middle East, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized, including spending four days in the intensive care unit, […]
US Defense Secretary Austin: ‘Israel Will Define the Phases of the Campaign for Itself’
The situation remains fluid throughout Gaza; a few weeks ago some parts of the north seemed to have been completely subdued by the IDF, but then Hamas combatants reappeared out of tunnels, taking by surprise, and killing, IDF soldiers. This led to a renewal of fierce fighting by the IDF, including airstrikes, in the north. […]
It Could Have Been Much Worse: Defense Secretaries Austin and Gallant Meet
It could have been much worse. And lots of people — Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Tom Friedman, the members of the editorial board of The New York Times — were hoping for a much stronger statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of the Bidenites’ displeasure with Israel. They are undoubtedly disappointed in the meeting Austin just […]
Defense Secretary Austin goes to Israel to pressure Israelis to scale back war, give Hamas a breather
The Biden regime wants Israel to scale back the war not because it cares about the wellbeing of Israelis — far from it. It isn’t even doing it because it cares about the “Palestinians.” The only thing that the Biden regime cares about is that its far-left base is in revolt over its support for […]
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin claims Israel is ‘driving’ Gazans ‘into the arms of the enemy’
Austin and the generals don’t realize that Hamas would recruit jihadis regardless of what Israel does. Western analysts have a paternalistic and ethnocentric assumption that jihadis are passive reactors with no agency of their own. All they can do is react to what the U.S. or Israel does. The idea that they might have reasons […]
This is Why America Forgot How to Win
The Pentagon’s lectures to Israel ignore the real lessons of the fight against ISIS. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stopped by the Reagan National Defense Forum to deliver an address titled, ‘A Time for American Leadership’. What leadership lessons did he have to offer? “I learned a thing or two about urban warfare from my […]
Defense Secretary: ‘I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders’ to Middle East
If this anti-American and sinister regime put its drag queen military into the conflict on the side of Israel, the jihadis would win. “Defense Secretary Issues Prepare-to-Deploy Orders for U.S. Troops to the Middle East,” by Kristina Wong, Breitbart, October 22, 2023: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin placed additional U.S. troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the […]
