Biden never wanted Israel to have missile defense. Now he just wants them to stand down
Fox News
When Joe Biden was a senator, he opposed Reagan's efforts to build missile defense. Now, those systems defend Israel and Biden doesn't want our ally to strike back at Iran.
But, had Biden had his way in 1987, Israel wouldn’t have had the sophisticated and highly effective missile defense system. Chuck DeVore is a vice president with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, was elected to the California legislature, is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, and the author of the new book, "Crisis of the House Never United."
What Iran’s large-scale attack on Israel — more than twice as large as any Russian attack on Ukraine — did was show the value of a layered anti-missile defense championed by former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump — and opposed by President Joe Biden, when he served in the U.S. Senate.
