Joe Biden Accused of Hypocrisy over Syria AirstrikeJoel B. Pollak 26 Feb 2021
President Joe Biden authorized his first military action on Thursday: airstrikes on facilities in Syria used by militias linked to Iran.
The airstrikes came in response to attacks on American personnel in Iraq. Criticism was muted on both sides of the aisle, with some questioning whether the airstrikes were authorized under the existing Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).
Others noted that the airstrikes mark a 180-degree turn for Biden and members of his administration.
Last year, Biden was among those who criticized President Donald Trump’s airstrike on Iranian terrorist General Qasem Soleimani. He called it “a hugely escalatory move in an already dangerous region,†and claimed — falsely, as it turned out — that the attack would provoke, rather than deter, the Iranian regime.
“We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East,†Biden said — wrongly, again, as peace deals soon emerged.
