Iran Media Celebrates the Great Islamic Victory in Rescue of F-15 WSO; Joe Kent Spreads Iran Propaganda Lie That US Was Attempting to Kill the Weapons Officer Rather Than Rescue Him

Who put forward Joe Kent's name? Whoever did should be fired. I'm guessing it was Tulsi Gabbard but I don't know that.

He's a traitor and don't give me that jazz that servicemembers can't be traitors. Benedict Arnold was a capable commander until he turned over West Point to England.

He posted a dishonest message that PJs (pararescue men, who I thought were Pararescue Jumpers, but no one seems to call them that) are "the best" while posting Iranian propaganda funneled through Iran's American agents at DropSite news that the US was attempting to murder its own man.

American GIs, Tokyo Joe has a new message for you. The IRGC is having its way with your wives and girlfriends, American GIs.

Ex-Trump counterterror honcho Joe Kent promotes disturbing Iranian propaganda claiming US tried to kill stranded soldier

Conspiracy theorist and ex-National Counterterrorism Center boss Joe Kent has been called out for promoting wild Iranian propaganda that suggested the United States was actually trying to kill a downed American airman -- just hours before he was dramatically rescued.

Kent, who abruptly resigned from his Trump administration position last month in protest over Iran, got into a war of words with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday after the former counterterror honcho was called out for peddling the false claims.

He had shared an article from Iranian state media over the weekend that claimed the US was actively bombing the same area where the missing airman was believed to be.

Oh I'm getting to that, below. American warplanes and drones released, a former pararescue man reports based on his insider knowledge, "violence of Biblical proportions" in the "FAFO box" around the downed airmen.

No, Tokyo Joe, it wasn't to kill the wizzo. It was to eradicate hundreds of Islamic Occupation Army thugs hunting him and rushing to his position.

The pro-regime outlet was reporting that the Trump administration had "lost hope" of finding the American soldier and was now trying to kill him before he could be captured by Iranian forces.

Kent shared the post before President Trump revealed hours later that the crewman had finally been rescued in a daring operation behind enemy lines.

Tapper, for his part, was quick to ridicule Kent "nonsense" post -- arguing his theory hadn't aged well.

"Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet nonsense claiming, falsely, that the US was trying to kill the then-lost US pilot," Tapper posted on X.

...

A defensive Kent quickly fired back, accusing Tapper and other media outlets of trying to "promote this foolish war & attack anyone who points out how this war isn't in our nation's interest."

You know, most traitors believe they're doing the right thing by championing a foreign country over their own. Plus, traitors tend to be enormous egotists, narcissists really, who always know better than everyone else.

Here's some background about the foreign propaganda mill "Drop Site News."

The madwoman that Tokyo Joe leaked to instead of doing his actual job has some thoughts as well:

Let's turn away from the American branch of Iran State Media to the Iranian branch.

They're celebrating their great victory in capturing sensitive American technology, like... candy and power bars.

One of the pictures shows the Islamic Occupation Army thug showing off a high-tech teriyaki beef stick. Another shows classified toothpaste.

Outstanding work, guys. Give yourselves all a bonus.

The bitter communists are celebrating the loss of the planes and helos as a big Win for Iran:

The bitter communist Peter Baker of the Bitter Communist NYT insists that Trump is "committing war crimes" by striking roads and bridges and power plants. This is bizarre. We always do that. They're key infrastructure used by the military. They say he must be prosecuted and jailed after he's out of office:

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

No other modern president has talked so openly about committing potential war crimes. Wartime presidents and their aides have usually insisted they were trying to follow international and US military law, even if they violated it in some cases. @ewong

If it sounds to you like a giant commie lie that it's a war crime to target military-used infrastructure in war, that's because that's exactly what it is.

This bitter communist professor says the US committed war crimes by targeting "military aged males" rushing to capture the downed pilot. He claims they might have just been civilians racing up the mountain towards the pilot so they're all war criminals.

"Age and gender," he intones, are not enough under International Law to establish that someone is a combatant.

How about context? Seems to me the only people racing up a mountain where a downed pilot is hidden are going to be people trying to capture him, not Recreational Armed Speed Hikers.

Below, a an insider-information analysis of the rescue of the Wizzo offered by a former PJ (Pararescue special operator).

Some highlights:

1) The little bird helicopters were carried aboard the C-130s, which have been modified to land anywhere. Unfortunately both C-130s got stuck in the ground and could not take off, so they and the helicopters were blown up. The helicopters did not have the range to get out of Iran and aren't capable of mid-air refueling.

2) He said there was an intense firefight -- "violence of Biblical proportions" -- between ground Basij and IRGC forces and lots of American planes and drones sent to protect the area where the downed pilot was hiding. The American forces created an "FAFO box" around the pilot's position and anyone coming with in it got the FO. Planes and drones were bombing open road just to slow down the approaching Islamic Occupation Army forces. (Which the left tells me is a war crime. But then, so was targeting the Occupation forces rushing to capture and torture the pilot.)

3) Unfortunately some of the rescuers were wounded by bullets and shrapnel in the firefight. I expect this will be the subject of intense press curiosity over the next months. They will turn this Anti-Benghazi, where we actually committed all the forces necessary to achieve a rescue, into "Trump's Benghazi."

4) He does not estimate the number of Islamic Occupational Army thugs killed by from context it sounds like it could be in the hundreds.

5) Because the C-130s were stuck, they had to send in more C-130s to pick up the special forces operators now out in the open in Iran and surrounded by Islamic Occupation Army forces.

6) He says he was leaked the information -- actually he pretends he's speaking "hypothetically allegedly" -- that some of the joint chiefs did not want to mount the rescue at all, considering it too dangerous, but someone with the handle "SecWar" overruled them.

Hello!

Happy Tuesday!
