Quietly President Biden continue’s the American military international anti-terrorist policy that has been going on for decades…..
President is not into large scale military operations.,..
He ordered the withdrawal from Afghanistan…..
He has refrained from sending large amounts of troops to the Ukraine….
But as have his predecessors….
He has kept the American military eye on the Middle East….Approving Special Ops small operations against ‘bad actors’ in his view…
This time the op was in Syria on the Turkish border
….
U.S. Special Operations forces carried out what the Pentagon called a “successful” counterterrorism mission in northwest Syria early Thursday. The risky commando assault targeted someone believed to be a Qaeda leader, but rescue workers said women and children were among at least 13 people killed during the raid.
American helicopters ferried the commandos into position soon after midnight, surrounding a house in Atmeh, a town close to the border with Turkey in rebel-held Idlib Province ….,
Update……
The subject seems to have ‘blown’ himself up
There is now the label for the who this person worked with bringing up ISIS…..
This is a strong perception plus for President Biden…
jamesb says
Biden has from back in the day been a supporter of small footprint Special OP’s….
Toughening up Biden’s political value….
Biden is on the ground in the ‘Big Apple’ for what was supposed to be about gun control…..
The raid has eclipsed the story in NYC….
But?
Gun Control and money for fighting crime/violence WILL play well for Democrats
There is absolutely NO Chance for any gun control legislation passage..,,
NONE
jamesb says
Follow-Up….
Repeat……
Biden went to NYC to tell the Big Apple Mayor
, a former cop, who has been pounded in right leaning local media for cops shot and street violence that he’d send the city money and help on guns….
BUT?
There isn’t a dime of coverage on THAT outside NYC
THe media run is the ‘raid’….
Gun Control is a wasted issue for Democrats nationality..,..
