The yin to Osama bin Laden’s yang is now dead, according to Joe Biden. Speaking in a live television address from a balcony at the White House, Biden announced that days ago he had authorized a strike to kill Zawahiri. The CIA getting the kill shots on Zawahiri may have been a case of sweet revenge after 20-plus years of looking for him. … The intelligence community had tracked Zawahiri to the safe house and spent months confirming his identity and developing a “pattern of life,” tracking his movements and behavior, the official said. If Zawahiri is dead, at least Biden did the right thing this time.
