President Biden on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. E.T. is expected to address the nation from the White House on the operation.

"Over the weekend, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation against a significant Al Qaeda target in Afghanistan," the senior administration official told Fox News Monday. "The operation was successful and there were no civilian casualties."

There goes the red wave. Dems may now win the House also.

It's nice when you have the media in your corner. Plus I don't think the Republicans really want to win, anyway.

Irrelevant.. top Al Qaeda leaders are like cock roaches. Kill one another takes over.

Had Afghanistan been handled correcting the first place there would be no Al in Qaeda,ISIS or Taliban left.

Instead we leave $80+billion in equipment behind to support their efforts. Sickening.

Did Biden go into the Situation infected with Covid?

Does he really have Covid?

Biden’s Intelligence Folk: “Listen Ayman, you go hide over there with Osama, and we’ll take good care of you for the rest of your life”…

First let me say I am really glad this guy is dead. Second, I think the Biden administration bought him from the Taliban. Didn’t we have some kind of meeting with them?

Just like Pelosi’s Taiwan visit. Kabuki Theater to make the Rats look tough.

Unfortunately, it’s probably going to work.

They’ll do the same here once they steal the senate and pack the Supreme Court.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
