As we reported, while Joe Biden released a written statement on the attack by Iran on Israel with more than 200 missiles and drones, he hadn't made an official public statement on it before now.

A lot has come out that is concerning about it, including the reports that Biden had a heads up from Iran that it was coming that he went on vacation anyway and also told them to act "within certain limits." They used slow-moving drones so that Israel and the U.S. could respond and interdict most of the attack. So it sounds like it was basically a show and a collaboration with Iran. Then Biden reportedly intervened to stop Israel from responding.

No wonder he didn't want to make a public statement. If he had to take questions or go on the record on this, that would be something to see. He will have to eventually.

But he did post a video of himself supposedly calling the American military, which helped in interdicting the missiles and drones and praising them. I don't know who told him that he looks good here.

I spoke with members of the 494th and 335th Fighter Squadrons today to commend them for their exceptional airmanship and skill in defending Israel from an unprecedented aerial attack by Iran. These brave servicemembers make us all proud. pic.twitter.com/8fudfNR8uu

"I spoke with members of the 494th and 335th Fighter Squadrons today to commend them for their exceptional airmanship and skill in defending Israel from an unprecedented aerial attack by Iran. These brave servicemembers (sic) make us all proud," Biden (or the intern who posts from the account) said.

So many problems. He looks so incredibly old here, like Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons."

But he can't even make just these simple comments to the troops without reading from his notes. He's just reading off a script, even to praise the troops. How embarrassing is this?

Even then, you can see the jump cuts on the video, so what did they have to edit out? And he seems just to keep repeating, "You're incredible," ad infinitum, as though he can't think of what else to say.

It seems like his "Don't" message didn't put Iran off from their attack, and Iran feels free to do what it wants.

Yet, someone posted this to Biden's X account, thinking it was somehow a positive.

Are they truly deluded? Don't answer that — we know the answer. And naturally, it got ripped apart.

Biden praising US forces for an attack he knew was coming, stood by, and let unfold, while US forces were deployed to stop is just next level political House of Cards soullessness. https://t.co/FYYB2KvW7j
