Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, the Biden-Harris administration got a harsh reminder that our enemies aren’t taking a break. While the stock market was nosediving and the presidential election drama took center stage, American troops and contractors were attacked in western Iraq. A radical Islamic group, backed by Iran, proudly claimed responsibility.
According to the media, five individuals were injured, though the details are still murky. Biden’s social media team tried to do some damage control by posting a picture of Biden and Harris in the White House Situation Room, claiming they were getting updates on threats from Iran and its proxies. They talked about diplomatic efforts and plans to support Israel if attacked again. But let’s be honest, a photo-op doesn’t fix the mess they’ve made.
This attack comes amid the escalating Israeli conflict with Hamas, which threatens to become a full-blown regional war. The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the killing of Fuad Shukr by Israeli forces in Lebanon are stark reminders of the rising tensions. Under Biden’s watch, the world has undeniably become more dangerous for Americans.
Back in April, Iran launched a massive missile and drone attack on Israel after an alleged Israeli strike on an Iranian compound in Syria killed several officials, including a top commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Monday’s attack might not be direct retaliation. Still, it’s all part of Iran and its proxies’ ongoing war against the West, primarily targeting Israel and the U.S.
With the presidential election looming, Harris faces former President Donald Trump, whose foreign policy projected strength and achieved real milestones like the Abraham Accords. Contrast that with Biden’s record of weakness and appeasement, and it’s clear which approach kept America safer.
Monday’s stock market crash was already a blow to the Harris campaign, with the economy being the top issue for voters. And now, news of this attack further highlights the foreign policy failures of the Biden-Harris administration. If Harris were a Republican, you can bet the media would be tearing her apart.
Ultimately, Biden and Harris have shown they can’t handle the job. Their weak stance has emboldened our enemies, and Americans are paying the price. It’s time for a change. We need leadership that projects strength, not hides behind photo-ops and empty promises. America deserves better, and come election day, voters will remember who failed to keep them safe.
