Biden Orders Airstrikes on Iran-Backed Militias Near Iraq-Syria Border: Pentagon. Dud?

 The Gateway Pundit

. . . "Specifically, the U.S. strikes targeted operational and weapons storage facilities at two locations in Syria and one location in Iraq, both of which lie close to the border between those countries. Several Iran-backed militia groups, including Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), used these facilities,” he said." . . .

Perhaps Biden figures he better use the military before it reaches full "woke".

Joe Biden Orders Airstrikes: Bombs Syria Again (breitbart.com)  . . . "Kirby also noted Biden meant to send a message with his latest round of airstrikes.

“ 'The United States took necessary, appropriate, and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation – but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message,” he said.

"Biden did not issue a statement in his name or address the airstrikes with reporters after returning to the White House Sunday from his weekend at Camp David.

"Biden also bombed targets in Syria in February, in retaliation after Iran-backed militias launched rocket attacks injured four American contractors one American service member. One contractor who was not an American citizen was killed, as Breitbart News reported."

Perhaps the new Ayatollah should not have challenged Joe to do push-ups with him.

Biden’s Half-Hearted Bombing for Iran’s Attacks on U.S. Troops Is a Dud – RedState

. . . "The Wall Street Journal reported the February retaliation initially involved two targets, but Biden canceled one when he heard a woman was seen in the area.

"Now comes word that after the February retaliation, Biden, who desperately wants to restart nuclear talks with Teheran, sent a confidential back-channel message to Iran that the new president did not really want a fight with Iran and that attack was minimal and directed at
Iranian militias, not Iran. An official told the Journal that a similar “Take-that-but-don’t-worry-that’s-all” message would be sent after Sunday’s bombing, too.

"Biden has also already eased some economic sanctions on Iran and Iranians, none of which has produced any negotiation movement.". . . 

"WAG THE DOG? "  “At President Biden’s Direction” The U.S. Carries Out Airstrikes in Iraq and Syria"

The Pentagon statement also began with, “At President Biden’s direction…” Does anyone REALLY believe that Biden is directing anything in this White House? There is something else going on here. Is this just a distraction i.e. “wag the dog” a la Bill Clinton? Is it just window dressing to make Biden appear in control. If it’s just to make Biden appear in control, well, that ship sailed long ago
