After 49 years in Washington, DC politics, Old Joe the Sock Puppet Biden finally did one thing right. The trouble is, even in doing the first right thing he has ever done in politics, he and his administration were proven to be rancid liars yet again in the course of events.
The one right thing was this:
Yep. He apparently ordered the drone strike in a moment of rare semi-lucidity and took out Al Qaeda patriarch Ayman al-Zawahiri. That’s a good thing, depending, of course, on what we ultimately learn about the collateral damage from the strike. Given the administration’s track record of blatantly lying about such things during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, we obviously cannot rely on its word about the attack.
The administration claims no innocent people were killed, a claim that strains belief given where the terrorist was holed up. He was safely ensconced in a safe house in a Kabul neighborhood maintained by the … wait for it … Taliban government of Afghanistan. You know, the same Taliban government of Afghanistan that promised - along with everyone in the Biden administration - that its country would not again degenerate into a terrorist state as part of the Biden government’s deal to withdraw from the country.
Oh.
