The trouble with the truth inside America’s most famous five-sided building exploded anew Thursday when a two-star general admitted at the beginning of a Pentagon press briefing that the Biden administration had doubled the number of U.S. troops inside Syria months ago while continuing to provide a false and lower number to reporters.
“As you know, we have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 U.S. troops deployed to Syria,” Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told stunned reporters. “In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest, we recently learned that those numbers were higher.
“So asked to look into it, I learned today that, in fact, there are approximately 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria,” he added.
The revelation that the Biden administration had doubled the number of deployed troops for months without public disclosure left even one of the country’s oldest and most revered military publications incredulous.
“The surge of 1,100 troops to the country has been going on for months without being disclosed publicly,” the Navy Times blared on X.
Legacy of mistruths
The four-year record of mistruths and obfuscation from the Pentagon podium under President Joe Biden is likely to be one of the administration’s enduring legacies, which combined with the White House’s own falsehoods about Biden’s mental decline, border security and family business dealings has eroded public trust, experts said. Biden called for stricter gun control laws this week after pardoning his own son, Hunter, for federal weapons charges.
“The Biden administration has lost the American people, the credibility of the American people,” former Trump Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told Just the News on Thursday night. “You mentioned all the different things coming out of the Pentagon, but this is also the administration that said the border was secure, right? Nothing to see there.”
