The code word used by people who hate Israel is “disproportionate.” They use this term, so subjective as to be meaningless, as a shoehorn to turn any action that involves the nation into an indictment against it, and a paean to its enemies. Which are usually terrorists.
Ask Ilhan Omar about it, she’s a huge practitioner of the “disproportionate response” ploy.
Nancy Pelosi, who is somehow Speaker of the House again at age 203, used the phrase this morning as her fig leaf for supporting Iran against the United States, even though she doesn’t even work for CNN.
American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests. But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and disproportionate actions. https://t.co/o0R8YVJMNW

You know who else says “disproportionate” about anything Israel or the United States does? These guys.
And so, in this two-pronged attack by the allied Mullahs and Democrats, it has been days of accusing our troops, our government, and the president of everything from incompetence and pettiness to outright WAR CRIMES.
So we come to President Trump, who responded to both of our wartime foes in a single tweet.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

By “media posts” he’s apparently referring to his own tweets about retribution. We talked about some of them last night, if you remember.
America’s enemies should really start listening. It’s obvious Pelosi isn’t pulling any levers of power here. The White House is on a path and some wimpy hand-wringing statement from the Hate Israel caucus isn’t going to do a darn thing to stop it.
