CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 30, 2024
THREE AMERICAN TROOPS WERE KILLED OVER LAST WEEKEND IN A DRONE STRIKE IN NORTHEAST JORDAN. DOZENS MORE WERE INJURED. PRESIDENT BIDEN BLAMED MILITIAS BACKED BY IRAN. HE SAID A RESPONSE IS COMING.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT. IT IS NOW BEYOND DOUBT WE ARE SEEING SO MANY ATTACKS ON AMERICANS BECAUSE OUR ENEMIES PERCEIVE US AS WEAK. BIDEN PROJECTS WEAKNESS IN HIS SLURRING OF WORDS, THE WAY HE WALKS AND HIS GENERAL CONFUSION AND FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON PREVIOUS THREATS. IN THIS HE MIRRORS BARACK OBAMA WHO DREW A RED LINE WHEN IT CAME TO SYRIA’S USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND WHEN SYRIA CROSSED THE LINE AND USED THOSE WEAPONS, OBAMA DID NOTHING.
WHAT CAN BIDEN DO? IF HE ORDERS A DIRECT ATTACK ON IRAN, THE AYATOLLAHS ARE LIKELY TO RUSH INTO PRODUCTION THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS THEY’VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR YEARS. IF HE ORDERS ATTACKS ON ONE OR MORE OF IRAN’S PROXIES, MORE WILL ARISE. THEY SEE THIS AS A RELIGIOUS WAR AND BELIEVE IF THEY ARE KILLED THEY GET HEAVEN AND 72 VIRGINS. HOW DOES THE SECULAR WEST COMPETE WITH THAT?
WE DESPERATELY NEED A STRONGER AMERICA. WHETHER WE GET ONE DEPENDS ON VOTERS IN NOVEMBER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
