If nobody's home, who called out the Syria airstrike? This was puzzling, given that there seemed to be no immediate threat

Seven weeks into his presidency, senile Joe Biden surprised many by calling in a Syria airstrike.

Which was puzzling, given that there seemed to be no immediate threat. And that's just for starters.

It was billed as a strike on pro-Iran militants stationed in the region, and in retaliation for an earlier strike of theirs against a U.S. installation. Which seems a little eyebrow-raising, given Biden's eagerness to make nice with the mullahs. Even that explanation has skeptics who call the whole thing laughable.

There are also those who think Biden is finishing up what President Obama started. You know, for the legacy thing. Favor to a pal.

What's vivid, though, is that questions are being raised about whether Joe really made the call.

First, note that his vice president, Kamala Harris, was kept out of the loop. According to a report citing a White House official, she's said to be steaming that nobody told her before it happened. And she's probably more steamed to learn that that news got out, advertising for everyone that her giggly round-heeled self is viewed, even in the Biden White House, as a lightweight.

But we already knew that.

What's also news is that on more than one occasion, she's publicly opposed attacking Syria. Here's her famous tweet everyone's retweeting, exposing her supposed (in this case) hypocrisy:

 

So, @PressSec @jrpsaki questioned the legitimacy of US strikes on Syria. @VP @KamalaHarris said the legal rationale is bunk. Still waiting for my reporter colleagues to ask... https://t.co/I8B8um6Cgk pic.twitter.com/LZ4qvISepA — Adam Kredo (@Kredo0) February 26, 2021

But there's reason to think that to the extent that she thinks about such things, she's against them Here's her November statement to an Arab news outlet,

These jokers are like having the Freshman football team take on an NFL team, simply not up to the task at all.

What do the democrats want us to be distracted from?
having an air strike on Syria has to be to draw attention from something else.

To make it look like Biden is “in charge”?

It seems possible that Obama called in the air strike.

Biden is out of it. He knows nothing.
Harris was kept out of it. They don't care about her.

I think Biden will be removed in a few months -- dementia.
Harris will be president. Briefly. I think she's a risky commodity for all sides. I suspect a "terrorist" attack will remove her. I don't think Pelosi is their long-term solution, but I think Pelosi will be president, possibly this year.

Meanwhile, Obama and his handlers will remain in charge.

Biden’s earpiece is in charge. “Salute the Marines.”

Or that Obama is finishing up what he started. I believe his hands are on Biden’s puppet strings.

Look at the embarrassingly incompetent idiots and fools who have been placed in high positions, from Biden down to the new Capitol police chief and more. I think it is logical to assume that they are mere figureheads and that others behind the scenes (shadow government) are actually pulling the strings.

Yes, and I found it surprising. You’d think they would inform Harris, if only to keep her from getting upset. Whoever is pulling the strings here (and it ain’t Joe) must have one heck of an agenda.

Was anyone actually injured in the strikes?

Make Americans think we are on the brink of war, so we will welcome a new agreement with Iran that gives them nukes?
Iran and Hunter win?

There are different cliques within the Biden cabal. The anti Israel, pro Iranian cabal just released an attack on the Saudi crown prince. They are trying to disrupt the de facto alliance between Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Sunni Gulf states. A pro Arab, anti Kerry clique, less numerous and less influential, somehow managed to get this ineffective attack on Iran’s militias ordered. Biden himself is clueless. IMHO Kerry is trying to get support from Obama to run American foreign policy. Harris and her supporters realize power is being stripped from her. Biden is clueless but the long knives are out.

Neither of these sock puppets is in control.

there are indeed a number of very dangerous Iranian military sites in Syria. But the ones that need to be bombed/eliminated first are their nuclear bomb and ICBM missile factories in Iran. You remember, the weapons that the Iranian crazy Muslim Mullahs promise, threaten to destroy USA with (that’s why their nukes are being fitted onto ICBM’s to reach the list of American big cities that the Iranian dictators have announced they will destroy first).

And if those tweets from Harris and Psaki shown above are true, the case will be made that his military calls are too dangerous, as evidenced by this “illegal” strike.
