NSC says correct number of Biden trips to Iraq and Afghanistan
is 21, not the 40 he claimed
President Biden Friday again made an exaggeration about the
number of times he's been to the Middle East, as he gave a
commencement speech to U.S. Naval Academy graduates in Maryland.
"I've been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan of over 40 I think
38 times," the president said.
That number was incorrect, however. A spokesperson for Biden's
National Security Council (NSC) said Friday the correct number
of times Biden visited Iraq and Afghanistan is 21.
Biden made the Friday comment in the context of congratulating
Naval Academy graduates of being, "members of the greatest
fighting force in the history of the world." The president said
that based on his visits to the Middle East, and his family's
military service, he has firsthand knowledge of the quality of
the U.S. armed forces.
"I've seen you in action, this is the finest military, not a
joke, we have the finest military in the history of the world,"
Biden said.
Friday's statement was not the first time Biden's made a false
claim about how often he's visited the Middle East. While
running for president, Biden said at least once he'd been to
Iraq and Afghanistan "over 30 times," according to the
Washington Post.
There you have it. A Democrat liar drunk with power pretending
to be a leader.
