The Chinese spy balloon… it is what is dominating the headlines right now.
Joe Biden just said something that is going to make it even more prevalent on the front pages.
Biden stated that he ordered the balloons shot down on Wednesday, but his top generals overruled him.
No, Joe
Now, the first problem is believing that Biden even knew about the balloon on Wednesday.
When it comes to matters such as this, Biden has a history of being a pansy, so to hear that he made an aggressive move to want it shot down as soon as possible is not really believable.
However, Biden stated, “I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible.
“They decided without doing any damage to people on the ground they decided that the best time to do that was when it got over water outside within a 12 mile limit.
“They successfully took it down and I want to compliment our aviators who did it and we’ll have more to report on a little later.
“I told them to shoot it down on Wednesday. They said to me let’s wait for the safest place to do it.”
First, I just have to question that nowhere during this journey could the balloon have been taken out without risking injury on the ground? Doubtful.
Regardless, administration officials are taking Joe’s back on this one.
Defense Secretary Austin stated, “On Wednesday, President Biden gave his authorization to take down the surveillance balloon as soon as the mission could be accomplished without undue risk to American lives under the balloon’s path.
“After careful analysis, U.S. military commanders had determined downing the balloon while over land posed an undue risk to people across a wide area due to the size and altitude of the balloon and its surveillance payload.”
Do you believe them? Because I sure don’t.
