Joe Biden has destabilized this country and the world. But now it’s all out in the open.
Because the White House was exposed for sending thousands of American troops into this foreign nation.
The Biden administration’s Pentagon just admitted a major blunder — and it’s a bombshell revelation.
On Thursday, the Department of Defense disclosed that the number of U.S. troops in Syria is more than double what the government has been reporting.
Instead of the previously stated 900, the actual count stands at 2,000 troops — a force that has apparently been in place “for a while.”
Pentagon spokesperson Maj. General Patrick Ryder finally addressed the glaring discrepancy during a press conference, confessing:
“We have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 US troops deployed in Syria.”
Then came the stunning admission: “I learned today that in fact there are approximately 2,000 US troops in Syria,” Ryder said, visibly uncomfortable.
This isn’t a trivial error — it’s an alarming oversight. According to Ryder, the additional forces are considered “temporary rotational forces” tasked with addressing “shifting mission requirements.”
But how long has this larger presence been in place? Ryder avoided giving a straight answer, vaguely stating, “My understanding is that it’s been for a while, so clearly before the fall of the Assad regime. So, yeah.”
When pressed further, Ryder admitted the increased deployment has been ongoing “at least a matter of months.”
Yet, no clear timeline or justification was offered for this significant troop surge, leaving the American public once again in the dark.
Adding to the murkiness, Ryder described the troops as primarily U.S. Army forces “focused on the defeat of ISIS mission.”
But even this explanation seemed to lack clarity. “Many of our deployments will fluctuate from time to time,” Ryder said, adding it was “his decision” to share the updated numbers.
The Biden administration’s Pentagon couldn’t even provide a solid reason for the ballooned troop count, with Ryder offering only vague assurances that these weren’t part of normal “relief in place” operations.
Instead, he suggested that these forces had been operating in and out of Syria without proper transparency.
This debacle comes as Syria’s former strongman Bashar al-Assad fled the nation, leaving behind a country in chaos.
While Biden’s team scrambles to control the narrative, the glaring question remains: why has the administration been misleading Americans about the true scale of our involvement in Syria?
This is yet another example of the Biden administration’s failure to provide transparency and accountability in military matters.
