Biden’s Pentagon Defends Syria Strikes Questioned by Democrats Bloomberg 2/26/2021 Jordan Fabian, Tony Capaccio and Peter Martin © Photographer: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby speaks to the press as he waits for incoming US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, at the Pentagon in Washington, DC on January 22, 2021.
(Bloomberg) The Biden administration defended its decision to carry out airstrikes in eastern Syria overnight, saying the sites it hit are connected to Iranian-backed groups believed to be involved in recent attacks in Iraq.
“We’re confident that these were legitimate targets utilized by groups associated with these recent attacks,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a briefing on Friday. The strikes sent an “unambiguous message” that “we will defend ourselves, that we will protect our interests. We are certainly going to act to defend our people.”
It s always been true that the Navy s fleet based in Western Washington performs critical missions across the planet. But as the Pentagon prepares for greater conflict at sea, the Navy vessels of the Pacific Northwest are currently showing they ll play a key role in containing an increasingly ambitious Chinese Navy. It s a major part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Brad Martin, a retired Navy captain and senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, said of the Navy in the Pacific Northwest. And with the focus on containing the rise of China, the forces in the Pacific continue to be very important and potentially increasing in importance.
