Hamas needs to be punished wherever it has misstepped: Rep. Rich McCormick
Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick joins 'FOX & Friends First' to discuss the U.S. government's response to the developing war in Israel as the House is set to vote on a new speaker.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says the U.S. has "people on the ground" to help Israel with "intelligence and planning" when it comes to rescuing hostages captured by Hamas, which include Americans.

Austin made the comment Tuesday while traveling to Brussels, Belgium, for a meeting with allies about the war in Ukraine. 

"We don't have any fidelity on the exact number of potential American hostages," Austin told a reporter, but added that when he spoke on Sunday with Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, he offered the assistance of the American intelligence community "in planning and developing intelligence to help in this endeavor."

Maybe Austin and the rest of Brandon's incompetents should just STFU and simply tell reporters they will not comment on ongoing military matters. If they did that they might possibly come across as somewhat competent instead of transmitting to the world what incompetent bunglers they are and giving information to the enemy....of course with the Brandon/Obummer administration one might have trouble figuring out who they consider the enemy in this.

Were this Trump's SecDef I'd consider this probable.

Being from LIEden's SecDef, I think it's probably CYA due to LIEden cluelessness and inaction.

I agree -- I'm not believing what the Brandon administration is spewing. Members of Congress sent a letter asking where are the US planes to get Americans/people out??

A FL based non-profit staffed by ex-veterans have gotten together to get them out -- Project Dynamo.

What worries me about whatever LIEden's peeps do when they finally show their noses in Israel is that their purpose is probably to restrain rather than aid Israel.

You trust our gov't about as much as I do.

Way to go,dumbass!

You just made them THE Number One Priority Target of Hamas.

Which,of  course,means  the Americans they went there to rescue are also Number One Priority Targets.
