The White House brought out Defense Department spokesman John Kirby Tuesday to talk to the press about both Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan (which he again said is not an independent nation) and the killing of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike over the weekend. President Biden has taken a well-deserved victory lap, but some people have found it troubling that someone so high up in al Qaeda could be found chilling on the balcony of a New York Times op-ed contributor in downtown Kabul.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy told Kirby, “You guys gave a whole country to a bunch of people who are on the FBI Most Wanted list,” to which Kirby took exception, naturally.
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ Peter Doocy takes John Kirby to task over President Biden saying Al Qaeda was "gone" from Afghanistan.
KIRBY: "We talked about the fact that Al Qaeda had a presence in Afghanistan but small ..."

"Small," huh?
Small and mostly peaceful.
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ DOOCY: "You guys gave a whole country to a bunch of people who are on the FBI Most Wanted list. What did you think was going to happen?"
KIRBY: "I take issue with the premise we gave a whole country to a terrorist group ..."

What do you think the Taliban are, you stupid f*ck? They're a terrorist group that harbors other terrorist groups - namely Al Qaeda. Damn, Kirby ... you're not much brighter than Jean-Pierre!
d.h. (@DrewHowardson) ~ Take issue all you want. It doesn’t make it less true.
DorisHN Pure Blood (@arh0526) ~ Right on point Peter.
World Explorer (@LeoNYC) ~ They absolutely did.
Yep ... the Biden administration turned tail, ran, and abandoned Americans and allies to a terrorist group in Afghanistan. There. Is. No. Denying. It.
Ken Sailor (@springssailor) ~ Kirby would refer to them as "austere clerics."
Michael Nolen (@Michael40707676) ~ He can take exception to the premise, but that doesn't mean he's right to do so.
Kirby knows he's been busted.
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Afghanistan is run and controlled by the Taliban. The Taliban was harboring Ayman al-Zawahiri. This morning, Kirby told CNN Al Qaeda is actively using Afghanistan as a safe harbor to plan attacks.
Missouri Patriot (@Silvernugget1) ~ The truth hurts.
It especially hurts Democrats ... because they don't know the Truth.
Woke Rasputin (@RasputinWoke) ~ They wanted to come out today and spike the football, but the facts got in the way.
Ah yes ... those pesky facts ... always getting in the way of the Democrat narrative.
Dr. Platimus (@SWGaspar) ~ It's strange that terrorist groups like the Taliban don't honor peace agreements. How could we have ever seen this coming?
Name one thing more useless than DC, I'll wait (@ibangmilfs2) ~ I'm old enough to remember this ...
Jersey Girl (@queenofeaster) ~ We are so screwed in every way possible with this administration.
Yep ... Brandon and his dweebs are a bunch of f*ck-ups, all right.
Doocy didn’t even mention the billions of dollars of hardware we left over there.
