How's He Doing

Judging Biden on his own stated terms - forget my criteria - he has completely fucked up everything possible related to Israel and Gaza and now Lebanon. He was supposed to get a ceasefire, stop a major incursion into Rafah, and prevent an expanding war with Lebanon.

It is quite weird just how quiet everybody is about it, except of course to libel anyone who objects.

Is this good? Was this supposed to happen? What are they supposed to do?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East in response to a sharp spike in violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon that has raised the risk of a greater regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, would not say how many more forces would be deployed or what they would be tasked to do. The U.S. now has about 40,000 troops in the region.
