Zawahiri’s killing was a Biden play for popularity – but it may have unexpected consequences

[DigitalDrifter]

It's all about politics of course.

A decade after US Navy Seals killed Osama bin Laden in a special operation in Pakistan, Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US drone strike in Kabul. Both men were synonymous with the image of al-Qaida. But more than anything, the killing of Zawahiri is a symbolic success for Joe Biden, whose approval rating has been dismally low recently. Even before the ill-fated military withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the Taliban seizing power, the US president had been vigorously trying to avoid discussing the country in his media engagements. Unsurprisingly, he is now trying to capitalise on the drone strike that killed Zawahiri to seek redemption in Afghanistan.

I had this thought the minute I heard about it

Somehow, I don't think many Trump voters (or too many others) are going to switch their vote to the Commander-in-Thief

Biden did not want to kill Bin Laden. Fact.

You could tell it was when the MSM made a huge play over some goat fugger 99% of America has never heard about

That doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal. 99% of Americans never heard of Soleimani (including Trump) but it was a big deal when he was killed.

No one was upset but Bin Laden. They fixed that.

I remember you were really upset when President Obama's administration took out OBL too.

Trump didn't know who the Iranian leader he just assassinated was four years ago

"As far as the individual players, of course I don't know them. I've never met them," Trump said of Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani and other top leaders.

Right. I get the point.

No one should run for president who does not know EVERYTHING.

God, please return to Earth. We need a president!

Not a big deal. It was a moderate deal as Trump was doing bigger and better things for the 'forgotten American', at the time.
Let's keep it in proper perspective, please.

I can’t speak for all, but I was quite pleased when OBL bit the dust, regardless of who was in power.

As for this guy… I’m less impressed. He’ll be replaced in days, hunted for a couple years, then offed by another drone strike just like all of OBLs successors have been. Not exactly massive news in my mind.

Strange isn't it that on the eve of Joey Xi Bai Dung's disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan the CIA would take out al-Zawahiri.
At this point as Hillary would tell us. "What difference does it make".

Trump barely knew anything. The bar was set incredibly low.
