This story is worse than it sounds. And while that’s true of nearly everything this administration does, it’s truly true here.
Iran’s terror militias launched a wave of rocket attacks against American soldiers in Iraq and Syria under Biden. There were dozens of these attacks last year alone.
In the spring of 2023, Scott Patrick Dubis, a 52-year-old military contractor who had worked on U.S. military bases in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar, was killed by an Iranian-backed attack.
Now, three US Army soldiers were killed and over 30 were wounded in an Iranian-backed drone attack on a position on the Jordanian-Syrian border. This is the worst death toll in some time.
Beyond that, Iran was behind the Hamas Oct 7 attack which killed over 30 Americans and we’re in a battle with its Houthi proxies over shipping in the Red Sea.
So what does Joe Biden go ahead and do?
The Biden administration on Wednesday reapproved a sanctions waiver that unlocks upwards of $10 billion in frozen funds for the Iranian government, according to a copy of the notice submitted to Congress late Wednesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
But this is Joe Biden we’re talking about. In October 2001, Biden proposed that, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.”
So why is this story even worse than it sounds?
“The sanctions waiver—which has drawn fierce GOP opposition on Capitol Hill—allows Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party countries.”
Now remember, Iran has effectively taken over Iraq. 3 American soldiers were killed because Iran has developed major Shiite militia forces across Iraq. The transfer payments prop up Iraq’s dependency on Iran which leads to further attacks on Americans. This is not some sort of indirect issue, it’s the core problem.
Not only is Iran profiting, but Iraq continues to be wired into Iran which makes a mockery of the entire war.
The State Department would not immediately confirm transmitting the sanctions waiver to Congress, but defended its previous renewals on Tuesday in response to Free Beacon questions.
“Since 2018, the waiver has remained necessary as Iraq weans itself off Iranian energy imports, which cannot happen overnight,” a State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon. “And Iraq is making progress in its path to energy self-sufficiency by increasing regional electricity interconnections, capturing and utilizing natural gas associated with oil production, and developing new domestic gas resources.”
2018. Six years later, Iraq has yet to “wean itself off”.
Iraq has plenty of its own natural gas. It keeps buying Iranian energy because its government is corrupt and because Iran’s Shiite catspaws run the place. Rather than put a stop to this, Biden is authorizing it by providing yet more waivers so the same corrupt arrangement remains in place.
Iran: Chief Sponsor of Terrorism
Is Valerie Jarrett one of Alzheimer Joe’s handlers?
I think she’s there somehow.
Secondary. It all goes through BO.
She does what BO tells her. Focus on BO.
‘Iran: Chief Sponsor of Terrorism”
America: Chief Sponsor of Iran
My opinion of islam would get me banned.
Father Guido ….
Is it a sin to pray to God to euthanize depraved psychopathic murderous rabid Islamic swine,
like one would euthanize an injured horse ?
This is an important theological question.
No disrespect to horses is intended..
Then what do we do with the many imprecatory prayers of the Bible?
My gut feeling is that Iran is actually running the Biden mafia administration.
The islamists are.
BO runs the DC show. Jarrett assists and coordinates with the Mullahs.
The Pier for Humanity reeks of the same corrupt, dishonest mindset. When — not if — American casualties occur during the construction and operation of the terrorist-humanitarian pier, Biden will say “look how many lives we saved from starvation.”
Biden is a Democrat and Globalists and a Traitor just like Obama and Clinton and their partners in crime the M.S. Media who cover up their Crimes
Biden and the woke leftist democrat party just keep stabbing-in-the-back Israel and America and US citizens.
Enough already.
Evidence of treason
Russia and China are too weak for me to worry about but our Domestic Enemies in the US government are very worrisome..
I think we still outspend China for weapons, which worries them.
Donald Trump said the Democrats are going after the American people and he is just in their way. The Biden administration and Schumer’s latest speech against Netanyahu shows that they are going after Israel and Netanyahu is just in the way. When Iran builds its nukes and places them in ICBMs, they can go after the American people as well as Israel.
How many Republicans spoke out in outrage over Schumer’s remarks yesterday? A handful, perhaps? Once again the feckless, spineless Republicans appear to be cowering in their offices.
Donald Trump was right and then some. It’s not enough to keep the evil within our borders, up close and personal. Now the Demsheviks overtly propose colonization of their evil ways abroad.
Off topic: why so little coverage of Peter Navarro, a sympathetic elderly gentleman, who is headed for a four month stay in prison, setting another precedent for lawfare under this administration. I found only one conservative site that covered this travesty. I pray that Mr. Navarro survives his ordeal.
That’s characteristic of totalitarian regimes, putting political opponents in jail.
The LSM silences patriotic / conservative voices.
Iran has nukes now.
Does anybody exercise in Iran? Every guy in the photo above has a flabby pot belly. I’m probably older than all but one of them and I don’t have an Iranian belly. Too many shish kabobs and not enough butt wiping, I guess. They look like a bunch of Joke Bidumbs.
Thanks Jeff! I’ve noticed and wondered about that too. Probably the Islamic mentality.
Yes a misplaced supremacist ideology doesn’t breed fit men, obviously. They must think they’re too good to take a walk or do some push-ups.
Remember the Bon Vivant Hermann Goehring?
