Once, it's a typo. Twice, and it's a Freudian slip.

Three months from the mid terms, time to build some walls and kill some terrorists. No joke, Jack.

Don't forget about giving chip manufacturers a butt load of money and then schedule a trip to piss off the overseas manufactures country.

I am definitely not shedding a tear for this guy, but it feels too forced. Biden apparently made a big speech after it happened... though I didn't see it. Al Qaeda is basically non-existent at this point, and this guy was only in Afghanistan because it's now the playground for radical fundamentalists that want free child brides.
Honestly, this really just feels like it was entirely for show. Americans like war... whenever a sitting president goes to war and we start kicking ass, it makes people happy... for some reason, and presidential polling goes up. At least... that seems to be how it has been lately.

Isn't this the same guy that died in 2020 of natural causes?

I don't remember coming across any previous reports that this Ayman al-Zawahiri had already died, before this CIA drone strike in Kabul that President Biden announced.
Maybe you're thinking of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, killed during a U.S. military operation in Syria, in 2019. He was the nominal leader of the Islamic State. The newly late Ayman al-Zawahiri was the nominal leader of al-Qaeda.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 08-03-2022).]
