I wonder what kinda psych meds ayman was eating. He’s had drones after his arse for 2 decades. Gotta be a little anxiety provoking.
Glad that maniac is gone.

Military intelligence must be the only dept in the government that biden people have not completely ruined. they probably haven't simply because they need it for their own propaganda purposes, not for national security.

Imagine you're minding your own business somewhere in Yemen, Afghanistan or Pakistan and all of a sudden a bomb is dropped on your village, killing many of your friends and family, along with the one terrorist our government wanted dead. Do you think you'd be more or less likely at that point to want to kill Americans?
Imagine you wake up one day, go to work, minding your business then all of a sudden a plane runs into the building you work in. Your only chance to survive is to jump 30 stories or even worse, you burn to a crisp. So yeah, frick them people.

I'm not gonna cry over a terrorist dying, but not the biggest fan of the United States just brazenly assassinating people.

I figured this guy was already long gone. He was old 20 years ago.

Will this restart an old war that just ended? Something's coming. They won't take this lightly.

Im absolutely shocked at the response this thread has had. 100%

What altitude do those drones operate at? Looks like 20,000-25,000 ft? Pretty amazing to shoot a non explosive missile at someone on a balcony. Guy could easily get up and go back inside in the time the missile was fired and would land.
Doing the math the hellfire fires at 995mph with a maximum range of about 7 miles, so if the drone fired from 5 miles away it would take 18 seconds to reach the target. Which is pretty damn ballsy to hit something like a guy sitting on a balcony before he goes back inside and you lose him.

poll numbers are abysmal
lulz No one gives a shite about a guy who 1. no one even knows and 2. hasn't been a force in over a decade+
So people are automatically going to say "Ermagahd! Forget about the wrecked economy and inflation issues, we killed him! You got my vote now!"

Only if you want to keep throwing out strong opinions on the internet but actually be informed.
Al'Qaeda is a global terrorist organization that has repeatedly attacked the homeland. They have a global jihad on any non-muslims.
The Taliban is exclusively focused on Afghanistan and maintaining authoritarian control over the country (which they did from the mid-90s through 2001).

Biden, Bush, Clinton are all from the same baby boomer mold. They made a “war” in the Middle East when nothing is even going on.
3,000 Americans died and the main person responsible was in Afghanistan. The problem was the way we went about trying to fight Al-Quaeda, not the fact that we decided to fight them.

I care more about securing Mexican border than killing some random Muslim oceans away.
The good news is these aren't mutually exclusive.

So who is the next in line needing to be killed?
Just imagine if the military seeked out the drug cartels and the fentanyl suppliers like they did Islamic extremists.

The timing of this and Taiwan says you are incorrect, My Man. They get their running orders just like anybody else.
Clinton did it with the Bosnia/the Devil in a Blue Dress situation also.
Hmmmm.... "they could've had him any day" from 'Pancho and Lefty' comes to mind.

Yeah because that's what politicians do. More than likely the president had very little to do with it. The CIA (or military, whoever located Al Zawahiri) was just doing their job, a job that would have been done no matter who the president is, but whoever it happens under will always take the credit.
Just like how presidents get blamed for shite they have no control over.
