American Troops Seen As ‘Sitting Ducks’ In Mideast While Biden Administration Dithers Over Iranian Deterrence

New York Sun

"… I don’t think we should be waiting for Americans to be killed,” the policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, Jason Brodsky, tells the Sun. Unless deterrence against Iran’s proxies and Tehran itself is reestablished, he says, “our troops are sitting ducks” across the Mideast.  “You can be assured that we are taking this extremely seriously,” the White House deputy national security adviser, Jon Finer, told ABC News on Sunday, referring to the Al-Asad base attack. America, he added, will respond “to establish deterrence in these situations, and to hold these groups accountable that continue to attack us.”
