Here's How Presidents Have Responded To Terrorism
NPR ^ | 08/31/2021 | Ron Elving

Speaking sorrowfully to the nation from the White House last week, President Biden lengthened a chain that was already far too long, a chain of presidential remorse — and vows of revenge — over the loss of American lives in faraway conflicts few Americans understand.

"We will not forgive, and we will not forget," said Biden, with an intensity he rarely shows, speaking of the deaths of 13 U.S. military personnel at the Abbey Gate to the Kabul airport are the latest additions to an honor roll that was also far too long.

"We will hunt you down and make you pay."

The U.S. did hit back over the weekend with drone strikes that killed ISIS-K planners and stopped a car bomb, the U.S. government said. Still, even in the final day of the U.S. military withdrawal, servicemembers remained in harm's way, as they repelled rocket attacks on the Kabul airport.

Empty threats to foes who have been handed all the cards, money and weapons galore. This Biden character will go down in infamy as the worst leader not just of the USA but of any western country anytime. He is a baby murdering totalitarian sell-out coward who is obviously being blackmailed big-time to give away hundreds of billings in Arms and have our brave soldiers brutally murdered in plain daylight by his incompetence and stupidity - and that of all the woke gaslighting bullshit artists he has at the helm of military and foreign policy. Enough of this creepy murderer.

Biden occasionally makes a strong statement - when his speech writers get one past the handlers.

Has NPR forgotten the Corn Pop episode? The threats to the guy at the auto plant? His threat to beat the daylights out of Trump behind the high school gymnasium? There's been lots of "intensity."
