“What it tells me is that we can make good on our commitment to defend Israel,” Kirby responds.
White House National Communications Security Advisor John Kirby completely avoided answering an incisive question by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on the Israel-Iran conflict Sunday.
“This Week” host Stephanopoulos pointed to Biden’s weak and ineffective leadership, asking: “The President also called on Iran not to retaliate, but they did anyway, what does that tell you?”
Kirby dodged the question and replied with a platitude about Biden’s commitment to defending Israel.
ABC: Biden called on Iran not to retaliate, but they did anyway — what does that tell you?

“What it tells me is that we can make good on our commitment to defend Israel,” Kirby responded. “It tells me that Israel does have superior military capability, just think about the hardware that Iran threw into the sky and how little damage it caused.”
Kirby couldn’t even offer a mediocre non-answer!
In a separate appearance on MSNBC Sunday, Kirby refused to directly answer if Israel and Iran are now engaged in a “wider war.”
“I don’t think there’s any reason that it needs to,” he replied.
“But has it?” host Kirsten Welker asked.
NBC: “Has this now escalated into a wider war?”
KIRBY: “I don’t think there’s any reason that it needs to.”

Kirby avoided the question again, “The president doesn’t believe that it needs to.”
Yikes.
In another instance of Biden’s weakness on the world stage, the puppet president urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran’s unprecedented attack, but was ignored.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi on Monday announced Israel will indeed retaliate against Iran imminently.
“We are looking ahead, we are considering our steps, and this launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs into the territory of the State of Israel will be met with a response,” Halevi declared.
