Biden shares Obama’s motive for failing to punish terrorists

Terrorists either perish doing the deed or seldom get caught. It took a war and a decade to make Osama Bin Laden pay for the 9/11 attacks. So, President Biden’s warning after the Kabul bombing in August 2021 was as lightweight as the promise he’d made in April that American troops would come home “responsibly, deliberately, and safely.”

After terrorists killed 13 American troops at the end of the evacuation, Biden addressed “those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm. We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.”

To make terrorists pay is simple to promise and difficult to do. You must: (1) identify them; (2) go after them; (3) attack them. Even then, diplomacy may put a spanner in the works. And of course, the government may have larger plans. When it comes to Biden, there have indeed been times when he was dead against making terrorists pay—when they were Iranian.

Take the bombing of the AMIA building in Buenos Aires. As Vice President, Biden stood by when Barak Obama made sure that the perpetrators, though identified, got off scot-free. How and why could he do such a thing? Well, as Tom Friedman summed up after talking to Obama, the president felt that the Iran deal was “a better outcome for America, Israel and our Arab allies than any alternative on the table.”

What a table that had to be, with no side issues that would offend the Mullahs. Eventually, everything was taken off the table—everything except the bribes. For caliphate fanatics, the prickly issues were (1) holocaust threats they routinely make against Israel, and (2) their worldwide network of terror.

It’s pretty obvious Biden isn’t making policy.

The only punishment for terrorism should be immediate execution.

As often as we are lied to by this government, why would anyone actually believe Osama Bin-Laden is dead? Yes, we were informed he had been killed. His body was never produced. Pictures of his deceased body can’t be found. Obama and Biden placed targets on the the Seal Team said to have taken him out. They were killed. It’s hard to believe so many are gullible.

I’m not saying he is alive but who really knows?

Why don't you believe it? Do you think Rob O'Neil who was the one who killed Bin Laden is lying? Sureley you don't think so.

You didn't see President George Washington die and get buried, did you? But you believe he died don't you?
