is a sign of weakness on the part of the Biden administration.
"President Biden and his national security team are letting America down," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C."I fear General Milley and Secretary of Defense Austin are not proving to be up to the task of providing the deterrence America needs to remain safe. However, the ultimate blame for the failing foreign policy and military situation we find ourselves in lies with President Biden.
Biden was referring to Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. "America has only one path available when attacked – respond swiftly and vigorously with overwhelming, punishing force designed to make enemies wary of engaging with the United States. Being strong is the best deterrence against future attacks," added Graham."Indefensible that American life must be lost before Joe Biden acts," wrote Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark."Had he responded in force to dozens of earlier Iranian attacks, this tragedy could have been prevented.
The Pentagon said the U.S. had taken"proportionate and deliberate action" with its strikes in order to limit the risk of escalation in its targeted response.
