Joe Biden tries to erase the failure of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan with the death of the number one of Al-Qaeda

It's hard not to think of Barack Obama's solemn announcement on Sunday, May 1, 2011, at 11 p.m., of the execution of Osama bin Laden by American Navy SEALs in Pakistan, a few hours earlier. "Justice has been done," the Democratic president had explained to his compatriots.

Eleven years later, on Monday, August 1, it was his former vice president, Joe Biden, who announced the death of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the man who succeeded Bin Laden at the head of Al-Qaeda, killed in the middle of Kabul the day before by an American drone. The president had the same words as his predecessor in 2011: "Justice has been done. This terrorist leader is not alive."
