Nobody In The Biden Admin Wants To Explain How 1,100 More US Troops Appeared In Syria — Or If The President Knew

Neither the White House nor the Pentagon seem to know how the official count for the number of U.S. troops in Syria has more than doubled.

White House Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain Friday how there could be an 1,100 troop discrepancy in reported U.S. forces in Syria, instead pointing to the Pentagon. Similarly, Pentagon press secretary Pat Ryder said Thursday at a press conference he couldn’t speak for the Oval Office on whether or not they were aware of the true number of troops in the nation.

“That is their purview,” Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday. “That is something that we have always been pretty consistent on.” (RELATED: US Military Just Smoked Another Notorious Terrorist Group Leader)
