Joe Biden’s corrupt ill-prepared Pentagon has been caught lying to the American people again, this time by suddenly revealing we’ve actually had more than 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Syria, not the 900 they have been saying for months.

They have been lying by more than half, folks.

Even more absurdly, Biden’s corrupt Gen. Pay Ryder claims he only “recently learned” of this troop count as if the whole thing was a total surprise to him.

According to Just the News:

“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.

There simply is no reason whatever to believe a word from any government official put in place by the crooked Biden regime.
