Israel did itself – and the non-terrorist world – a favor yesterday, by taking out the Iran consulate in Syria and killing at least two of its highest-ranking generals…which is to say, two of the people most involved in middle east terrorism.
So what did the United States, under Joe Biden/his puppeteers do?
From Barak Ravid’s article at axios.com:
The U.S. told Iran that it “had no involvement” or advanced knowledge of an Israeli strike on a diplomatic compound in Syria that killed a senior Iranian general, according to a U.S. official.
The big picture: The rare message shows the Biden administration is deeply concerned that the Israeli strike could lead to a regional escalation and the resumption of attacks by pro-Iranian militias against U.S. forces.
- Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi is the most senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer to be killed since the U.S. assassinated Qassen Soleimani in 2020.
A National Security Council spokesperson told Axios that the U.S. “had no involvement in the [Israeli] strike and we did not know about it ahead of time.”
- A senior U.S. official said the U.S. “has communicated this directly to Iran”.
Why did Biden/his puppeteers do this? Why did they provide an assurance to Iran that the USA – which, like every non-terrorist country in the world, benefits if the major supporter of world terrorism is militarily weakened – go out of its way to assure Iran that it had nothing to do with this? Why didn’t we simply be quiet – nothing to say either way – and let Iran wonder about it?
Are we that afraid of Iran? So afraid that we take pains to convince the murderous mullahs running the country that Israel is its one and only target? Or, put another way:
“Hey, don’t blame us, it was those Jews over there, not us. We’re the ones who keep unfreezing your funds, remember? The ones who make is financially possible for you to support the groups trying to annihilate those Jews. We’re the good guys…”
How does that grab you? Maybe not so well (I can at least hope).
But, if you’re a Biden political operative – preferably one without any moral grounding or any good feeling for Israel – I can see why the Biden administration spoke right up. I mean, heck, there must be at least some Islamic voters in Michigan – maybe followers of that Imam in Warren, Michigan who preached Jews should be “slaughtered like sheep” – very happy to find out that we were uninvolved in an action that might stop Iran’s furthering of terrorism. After all, Michigan is a swing state, y’know….
There’s your Biden administration. Like it or don’t.
Me, I don’t. How about you?
