John ,
When a President deploys special forces on the ground in a hostile combat zone, nothing else matters. That is his only focus, and it’s a gut-wrenching period when everyone gathers around in the situation room, holding their breath until it’s over.
Last night, President Biden ordered an elite tactical unit to deploy in Idlib, the northwestern-most province of Syria, to take out ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
He sent them there because the coward had strategically embedded himself amongst children and innocent civilians to prevent the US from killing him with a drone attack.
Our counter-intelligence professionals, of course, spotted this and reported it back up the chain of command. The President then was forced to make a very difficult decision: Launch the drone anyway and accept the collateral damage that comes with it, or put our troops in danger and deploy them on the ground.
The President chose to trust our troops, to trust their training, to trust their judgement, and to allow them to do what they do best: Hunt and kill terrorists while protecting innocents.
This was not an easy decision. We are grateful that no American troops were harmed, and the President is not going to get enough credit for making the right call. It comes down to one thing: This President trusts the intelligence community, trusts his military, and he gathers all the information and makes the right call.
What separates Biden from Trump is that President Biden listens, he studies, he weighs his options carefully, and when you do all of that, you usually come out on top.
I say it all the time: Do not mess with the United States’ military. We are the finest, most highly-trained, best-equipped fighting force in the world, and we will get you every time.
This, of course, is far from over -- the terrorist, being the coward that he is, strapped himself to an emergency suicide bomb and killed himself and the people surrounding him. He thinks he's on his way to heaven. He is in for a wake-up call when the gates of hell open up for his ass.
What comes next? No doubt, the terrorists will scramble to find the next scumbag figurehead that we will have to hunt down and kill. It never ends.
That’s why we must work with our allies on the ground to rid the world of these terrorists once and for all. But that will only happen when the region stabilizes, and only the people of the region can do that for themselves. The longer Russia stays in Syria using civilians for target practice, the longer the instability will carry on.
Unfortunately, the right-wing media machine here in the U.S. has chosen to side with Vladimir Putin over President Biden, and far too many folks are being sucked in by their spin.
It’s gotten so bad that Senators and Congress members have reported getting daily phone calls from right-wingers demanding they support Russia, even as Putin surrounds Ukraine with tanks and troops and fires missiles into Syria!
It seems like nowadays, being a Republican requires you to be a traitor, and that makes me sad and angry. It makes me sick!
But that’s why I do what I do, and why No Dem Left Behind is so important – in some of these red states where all people hear day in and day out is the Faux News/Breitbart narrative, we are offering another point of view … one that doesn’t require you to turn against your own country just because you don’t like the guy who won the last election.
Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!
