Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Jake Auchincloss is suddenly beating the war drums against Iran, demanding Congress pass an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) to strike the Islamic Republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. But Patriots have to ask: where was this urgency during four years of Biden's weakness?
Speaking on CNN's "AC360" Thursday night, Auchincloss claimed now is the "ideal" time to hit Iran because "Iran is not in control of the skies" following Israeli strikes last year. According to the Democrat congressman, Iran has "no domain awareness and no ability" to defend anything above 10,000 feet.
How convenient that Auchincloss discovers his hawkish side just weeks after President Trump returned to office, ready to restore American strength on the world stage.
For four long years, Biden's administration allowed Iran to rebuild its coffers, advance its nuclear program, and spread terror across the Middle East. The same Democrats who are now calling for military action sat silent as Biden unfroze Iranian assets and pursued his disastrous Iran appeasement strategy.
Now that Trump is back - the same President who took out Iran's top terrorist Qasem Soleimani and brought real peace to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords - suddenly Democrats want to look tough on Iran.
The timing is suspicious, folks. Are Democrats trying to box Trump into another Middle East conflict, or are they finally admitting their Iran strategy was a complete disaster?
Unlike the previous administration's weak-kneed approach, President Trump has already demonstrated how to handle Iran effectively. His maximum pressure campaign crippled Iran's economy and kept their nuclear ambitions in check - all without getting America dragged into another endless war.
The real question Americans should be asking: Why didn't Democrats demand this AUMF when Iran was at its strongest under Biden? The answer reveals everything about their political games versus America's real security needs.
