JOE BIDEN'S ADMINISTRATION CANNOT KEEP SECRETS: NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says was it necessary for the Joe Biden administration to announce that an intended airstrike on a second Iranian backed militias base in Syria was aborted at the last minute because women and children were spotted among the terrorists in the premises. For the sake of this article, let us concede that it was truly what happened and successfully prevented the attack, but why also tell the enemies how to stay alive by publicly announcing it? Does announcing it not telegraph to terrorists a message that as long as they have women and children in their midst that they are safe and will not be bombed by America. That they will not be touched provided they carry their women and children along in their devilish enterprise of terrorizing people. What a guaranteed immunity from being bombed by America.

Such a thoughtless act of calling off the bombing raid which was compounded by announcing it and also giving the reason why it was called it off will only embolden terrorists not add anything to America. The terrorists now know what they have to do in order to stay alive while still carrying out their plots. They have found a perfect inoculation from American bombs, just deploy some women and children on the premises as human shield and it is a done deal. As a result of this announcement, terrorists will, going forward, always endeavor to have a lot of women and children with them as they terrorize people, aware that Americans will not bomb them in retaliation. It is also pertinent to note that these murderous people do not share similar considerations when they visit their iniquities on their victims. When they fire their rockets into Israel they do not give any thought to whether there are women and children inside where their bombs land. When they set off bombs inside buses, they do not care whether any young child is on her mothers laps lactating on her breasts. In school buses, they don't care that it was carrying school children.

However, ICHEOKU is not saying that America should become ruthlessly like them with indiscriminate bombings, but that some of their women are known to participate in bombings and some of their children will eventually grow up to become terrorists and continue from where their parents stopped. Therefore, why not treat them like accomplices or at worse see them as collateral damages in the event they do not survive following bombing. Is unintended consequences of war no longer allowed as tolerable margins of loss in conflicts? Those terrorists should be held responsible for any resulting harm on their women and children from dropped bombs because they placed them in the harm's way in the first place. They courted any arising deaths because they know that there will be reprisals for their terrorists attack and that they will be hunted down and crushed. So by intentionally placing their women and children on the same premises where the bombs will find them, it is nobody else's doing but theirs.

But in the final analysis, if such intended air raids by America must be called off, especially at the very last minute simply because some "women and children" of terrorists were on the same premises as their terrorists fathers and husbands, then let the information be kept under wraps as a top secret. By announcing it, America is giving terrorists an edge in the battle for freedom by providing them with an out on how to stay alive and not be killed. A sort of security insurance that as long as women and children are with them they are safe and protected from bombing. All they will now do going forward and in order to enjoy a deep sound sleeps at night with their two eyes firmly shut is just saturate wherever they are with women and children and it is done. It is pitifully sad that this announcement was made without considering the implication very much earlier. Even the compassionate angle which they tried to communicate by announcing the decision to call off the bombing pales in comparison to the damage it caused by what it gave up. Lets hope they have learnt a lesson and will guard their utterances going forward.
