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.

I know it may seem kind of strange, but I'm old enough to remember when we had a President who wasn't a senile Chink puppet or a flaming fag Musloid...

This is just aggressive negotiations with Iran. The mullahs insisted last week that we go back to the nuke deal that Trump threw out, and that we pay reparations and drop all sanctions. This is our answer.

The only troubling thing is that the Biden administration doesn’t seem to be aware that they issued this order.

From what I’ve read we killed like 28 Syrians and blew up a border crossing.

Various reports say at least one killed

What does an air strike cost? Like Clintoon, bomb an asperin factory? Or the Serb, wag-the-dog over Lewinski? Still More ComDem Insanity!

I believe NOTHING that comes from this administration, no words, no images, nothing. They lie, lie and then lie some more. Nothing they do or say has any truth as it is all deception. You can show me a stack of bodies surrounded by piles of AK-47s and rockets and I know it is an image manufactured fir the occasion.

I’m living for the Divine day of reckoning where God smites Democrat City into dust with His Righteous Fury and Wrath for all the toxic evil oozing out of that horrible town.

Probably some rambling phone call by Biden that happened to include the words “cereal” and “streak” and “air”. So they performed an Air strike on Syria.

No, Corn Pop was wearing an LGBTQABCXYZ t-shirt, and the drone saw it in time.

Possibly. But we do not actually know who is calling the shots in DC. It is clearly not Biden.

So many traitors in DC. Some in the highest levels of the Military are involved. But remember in the CIA; the creep, liar and traitor Brennan was in charge too.

“Enemies both foreign and domestic” is an oath they all took and openly broke.
