CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 1, 2024
FOLLOWING TUESDAY’S KILLING OF A HEZBOLLAH LEADER IN LEBANON, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KARENE JEAN-PIERRE TROTTED OUT THE TIRED OLD LINE ABOUT NOT WANTING A WIDER WAR AND HOW THE U.S. SEEKS A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION TO THE CONFLICT. A SIMILAR LINE WAS USED BY SECRETARY OF STATE ANTHONY BLINKEN AFTER A ROCKET ATTACK IN TEHRAN WEDNESDAY KILLED A HAMAS LEADER.
THERE WILL BE NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION AGAINST IRAN AND ITS PROXIES. ONLY A STRONG ISRAEL WITH A STRONG AMERICA LED BY A STRONG PRESIDENT WILL KEEP THE TERRORIST WOLVES AT BAY.
BORDER PATROL HAS SEIZED SOME PEOPLE WITH TERRORIST CONNECTIONS BUT OTHERS, THEY SAY, HAVE ESCAPED. WHAT IF THE GOTAWAYS WITH IRAN’S HELP LAUNCH AN ATTACK INSIDE AMERICA BEFORE THE ELECTION? HOW WILL THAT CHANGE THINGS?
THE U.S. AND ISRAEL ARE IN THE ANTI-TERROR WAR TOGETHER AND WASHINGTON HAD BETTER LAY-OFF PRESSURING ISRAEL. IF WE DON’T HELP THEM DEFEAT HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, THE HOUTHIS AND IRAN OVER THERE, IT’S A GOOD BET THEY’LL BE COMING HERE. IN FACT THEY ARE MOST LIKELY ALREADY HERE. EVIL CAN NEVER BE ACCOMODATED. IT MUST BE DEFEATED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
