2010 letter from Bin Laden "Biden will lead US into crisis" | Eastern NC Now

"During what has been inarguably the most embarrassing stretch of the Biden presidency (and it's not over yet,  as sources at the airport in Kabul say the situation has continued to deteriorate on Saturday), a letter taken from the massive cache of documents retrieved by American Navy SEALs from Osama bin Laden's compound has leaked to the New York Post...and what it says might offer some insight into the Taliban's PR strategy as they re-assume control of Afghanistan after 20 years.

The letter reveals that Osama bin Laden thought so little of Biden's capabilities as a leader that he ordered Al Qaeda specifically not to target Biden for assassination, asking instead that they focus on President Obama, or Gen. David Petraeus (then still in control of the mission in Afghanistan). The letter is dated from May 2010.

In the letter dated May 2010, the al Qaeda 9/11 mastermind wrote he had no assassination plots against Biden because he deemed him "totally unprepared" to lead the United States.

Instead, bin Laden urged his followers to be on the lookout for then-President Obama.

He told them there was a high priority to target aircrafts belonging to Obama and then-CIA director David Petraeus.

"They are not to target visits by US Vice President Biden. The groups will remain on the lookout for Obama or Petraeus," bin Laden wrote.

Bin Laden reasoned that having Biden ascend to the presidency would be a net benefit for Al Qaeda.

"The reason for concentrating on them is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make Biden take over the presidency for the remainder of the term, as it is the norm over there."

"Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis."

"As for Petraeus, he is the man of the house in this last year of the war, and killing him would alter the war’s path."
