Larry Tomczak smacks president for funding world’s leading terrorist nation
By Iran, the world’s leading terrorist nation (which previously held Americans hostage for 444 days until Reagan secured their release), recently rained down 120 ballistic missiles, 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles on Israel. It was an unprecedented direct attack following their previous Hamas proxy attack on Oct. 6, 2023 that killed 1163 people (including Americans) and was the equivalent of 50,000 Americans being killed in our 9/11 Islamic attack.
Joe Biden applauded the stunning success of the Jewish leaders employing their “Iron Dome” technology obliterating 99% of the weapons of destruction. He attempted to bask in the glow of the monumental achievement. Yet do you know the backdrop story of Biden’s opposition to this advanced system when President Ronald Reagan presented the concept to America in the 80s?
Heed History
British statesman Winston Churchill is honored as the leader who primarily saved Western Civilization. When Britain’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from a 1938 meeting with Hitler foolishly declaring, “There is peace in our time!” Winston knew better, refusing to project weakness and gamble with appeasement by avoiding conflict. He told the English citizens, “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.”
He looked at the big picture, as did Kennedy in the Cuban missile crisis and Reagan in standing up to Marxism and Islamic terrorism. Today we face a similar situation where peaceniks, Jew-hating activists and understandably cautious people don’t want to risk escalating any Middle East tensions. They say we should tolerate the unfair demonizing of Israel; keep giving Iran billions (being used to develop a nuclear weapon and proxy terrorism attacks); avoid justified retaliation; try again for the failed two-state solution; call for a cease-fire; give them $6 billion in ransom for five hostages; ignore their failure to cooperate with European nations to restore sanctions; and don’t be concerned about their growing alliance with China, Russia and North Korea.
Iran’s leaders laugh all the way to the bank with the $100 billion (given them directly or indirectly), as Biden hopes they’ll not continue developing a nuclear weapon to dangerously change the entire Middle East region bringing us to the brink of an apocalyptic holocaust.
Iran’s fanatical leaders declare “Death to Israel and America – the Great Satan!”
They are the number-one state sponsor of terrorism; they’re developing long range ballistic missiles capable of hitting America; and they can cut off oil passing through the Red Sea to bring about another disastrous energy crisis like 1979 (that I remember painfully well!).
Facing Reality
Richard Goldberg, senior advisor for the Security Council of the Trump Administration, states: “Iran is at the one-yard line of their nuclear weapon capability and in April demonstrated their delivery with the multi missile assault on Israel.” Former CIA Director David Petraeus states: “The U.S. and Israel will never let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” (4/26/24) But will this Administration do so?
America’s future and that of our children and grandchildren is at stake. Economic, political, but especially military measures, must be employed as we return to Reagan’s “peace through strength”!
The acceleration of Iran’s nuclear program was ignited when Biden took office. We’re inching towards a defining moment in dealing with this powder keg.
Prudent or Patsies?
“The prudent see danger and take refuge but the simple keep going and pay the penalty (Prv. 27:12).
1983
President Reagan unveiled in the Oval Office his vision for replacing Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) with a Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to protect America. Democrats mocked it calling it a “Star Wars” fantasy.
