On Sunday, three U.S. service members were killed and 34 injured in a drone attack in Jordan. It was no big secret who was behind it: Iran, the country to which President Joe Biden released $6 billion in oil money back in August in exchange for five American hostages. We now know the drone was built in Iran. Asked Tuesday by reporters if Biden held Iran responsible for the attack, Biden replied, "They supply the weapons."
(As we reported earlier, Biden called the family of one of the service members who was killed and lied again about his son Beau dying in Iraq.)
How was Biden going to respond to the deadly attack? CBS News reported Tuesday that Biden had decided how to retaliate.

Definitely
The Biden administration hasn't been exactly discreet about its plans.
"U.S. officials have confirmed to CBS News that plans have been approved for a series of strikes over a number of days against targets — including Iranian personnel and facilities — inside Iraq and Syria." https://t.co/Z28L3AbD0G

And all of those IRGC commanders have already left Syria and gone into hiding leaving those bases. The Pentagon usually does not telegraph so much if it wants the element of surprise. https://t.co/mdrUPz8otp

Thinking the Biden admin wants "the element of surprise" assumes Biden wants to hurt Iran. But he doesn't. He has made this abundantly clear, over and over again. Biden is telegraphing whatever meager retaliation is coming precisely so it won't hurt Iranian personnel. https://t.co/7Ndv6hgMPu

Many camels will die and many empty buildings will be destroyed in this surprise attack telegraphed for a full week with every detail spilled in the press https://t.co/264bjpWk7e

Have to give them a heads up. Our dead and injured service members didn’t get a heads up.

More weakness by this administration.

They're going to spend millions of dollars in assets to blow up empty warehouses because they have no backbone.

Kinda feels like the US and Iran are almost on the same team here

The strategy of telegraphing any strike options and/or possible targets is extremely counter productive and has to diminish operation effectiveness. Those we need to hit the most are gone.

So basically we have informed them of what we will do and gave them a couple of days to prepare. Wonderful.
— Candice White (@CandiceWhi26861) February 1, 2024
Exactly. They’re gonna hit empty tents, maybe some left behind useless equipment, and sand.
— Eric Moore (@EricMoo91919605) February 1, 2024
Mind blowing that they have announced so much and it’s taking so long. Almost feels intentional

This is an unserious response from an unserious administration.

Remember in 2020 when President Donald Trump took out Iranian terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike? Now that was a surprise. Both Democrats and the press were furious. But as Trump said, "He was a monster. And he's no longer a monster. He's dead."
