Biden’s right response

February 08, 2024 7:27 am • Last Updated: February 08, 2024 7:27 am

Trump has absurdly claimed that the killing of our three U.S. Army soldiers at their remote Jordanian outpost by Iranian proxies would never have happened on his watch. Senators Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, along with other hawkish Republicans, have chided President Biden for not waging a direct military attack on Iran. Instead of such knee-jerk reactions, President Biden has responded to the attack on our soldiers with a comparatively limited, measured, responsible and sharp response. Biden has resisted directly attacking Iran, risking a full Mideast war. President Biden's responsible, strong, intelligent leadership in this time of crisis is noteworthy.
