Biden sold America the false narrative that Al Qaeda was 'gone' from Afghanistan. Zawahiri's death proves he was dangerously wrong, writes terrorism analyst BILL ROGGIO
2022-08-04
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] "sold" is a little strong.
Bill Roggio is scathing about President Biden’s false claims about Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and elsewhere. He doesn’t stint his scorn for the similar statements on the subject from Presidents Obama and Trump, as well.

#3  I don't see what the danger is with al Q in Afghanistan.

they haven't been able to pull off a big hit in the past decade or so; they are a much decayed group

of course their past actions, e.g., embassy bombings, USS Cole, 9/11 make it a legitimate target but that's another thing

#2  If we learned anything from the drug cartels is that when we cut the head off, two, more violent, heads appear. Expect the young guns to hit soft targets to make their name know...

#1  So, how many Al Qaeda are left in Afghanistan? White House insist there is a 'small number' after al-Zawahiri strike and U.S. didn't have a 'feel' on terror presence when troops pulled out
