Tactical victory confirms Biden’s strategic defeat

The liquidation by drone strike of Osama bin Laden’s successor is a welcome tactical victory for America’s intelligence and military personnel. Sadly, it also reminds us of the magnitude of the strategic defeat we suffered at the hands of their Commander-in-Chief a year ago.

Consider the following facts: Ayman al-Zawahiri was operating in Afghanistan’s capital. Clearly, with America’s surrender of the country to the Taliban, it’s a new haven for Sharia-supremacists the world over. Worse yet, thanks to more than $80 billion-worth of advanced U.S. weaponry President Biden abandoned there, those jihadists are vastly better armed than ever before.

And the tens of thousands of unvetted, mostly unaccompanied young Afghan men that Team Biden allowed to enter and settle throughout America ensures that the danger we face from the next Zawahiri will not be decisively defeated by wack-a-mole tactics in distant Afghanistan.
