“Let’s put this thing in perspective,” he said, “what interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with al Qaeda gone? We went to Afghanistan for the express purpose of getting rid of al Qaeda in Afghanistan … And we did.”

Yet after Biden’s disastrous overnight withdrawal from Afghanistan last summer, betraying the people there - including allies - to the Taliban wolves, the president assured us that al Qaeda was “gone” from the country.

It’s been widely reported that it was an al Qaeda “safe house,” though this turned out to be a somewhat overly optimistic description. Nor can I think of a better place to be when it happened than New York City, which coincidentally is where I also was when the bin Laden news broke.įrom the various conversations I’ve had today, New Yorkers feel a collective visceral need for these moments of vengeance and accountability for the 9/11 barbarism.Īnd I’m sure most share my view that Biden deserves great credit for ordering the successful strike, which is a major victory for the US in the ongoing war on terror.īut before he goes on too ecstatic a victory lap, I have one urgent question for the president: What the hell was Zawahiri doing casually standing on the balcony of a downtown residential house in Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul? I can’t think of a better way for a sadistic bastard like Zawahiri to die. These so-called “ninja bombs” don’t have warheads, instead deploying six blades that fly at high speed, with extraordinary precision, and literally slice and dice their target. So I’m thrilled he’s dead, appropriately chopped to pieces by Hellfire R9X missiles fired from an unmanned Predator drone. But better late than never.įor more than three decades, Zawahiri plotted the murder of thousands of Americans in a series of atrocities and was just as dangerous as his more infamous boss, whom he replaced after bin Laden was killed in 2011. It may have taken 21 years to get him since the evil terrorist dubbed “bin Laden’s brains” masterminded the 9/11 attacks.
