According to reports, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the former Al Qaeda second-in-command behind Osama bin Laden, has been killed in Afghanistan by an American drone strike. Al-Zawahiri was apparently holed up in a location adjacent to the now shuttered U.S. embassy in Kabul. Apparently it was necessary to end the 20+ year U.S. occupation of Afghanistan that cost more than a trillion dollars to kill a single Al Qaeda operative long after the group had ceased to be a threat.
Jimmy and his panel of The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this latest salvo in the war on terror, if the Biden administration is looking for a distraction and whether the public should care about Al Qaeda anymore.

The democrats are the party of Klaus schwab
Ayman al-Zawahiri died from ashma in 2020.
Jimmy you missed the bit where this guy died of illness ages ago he wasn’t killed by cia
& you thought the war was over in Afghanistan..😂😅😂
A CIA operative ?
So what? We already 'killed' the ISIS leader four times in a row. Next, are they going to say we killed Bin Laden 10 times in a row?
Oh another drone strike kill. But we are still in a recession.
“In the end , The Roman people starved in the stands while watching gladiators kill each other, and thought At least I’m not either of them.”
Gee, imagine a nuke going off in the USA………………….and the masses wonder why.
Jajaja…they got the wrong person
Blowing this guy up is like killing Japanese generals in the sixties. That war is over, quit trying to start it up again and call it a win.
They also claimed he died in 2020
Wow the pathetic attempts of the establishment at gaining political points is exasperating
He was just happy to kill someone. He. Now feels like a president lol
How much did the drone strike cost! why dont they just leave these countries alone and sort out their own mess at home….
If Al-Zawahiri was a civilian, I have no problem believing he was killed by a US drone
"Drone strike"? Why is the CIA dropping bombs? Who are these people accountable to? What are they even doing over there?
I think that I'm fairly well informed, and I really don't know how to answer those questions.
Video or it didn’t happen. And I would also say it’s sketchy. So who’s next? Hitler?
If Biden really wants to go after terrorist war criminals — he should get after – Bush – Hitlery & Obama.
Been kill umpteen times b4 by other adminstrations, will be killed umpteen times by future administrators.
So when An organization is terrorizing the middle east, with one attack on the US, it's ok to attack?
But if an organization, is killing Russians, on the Russian border, Russia should do nothing? 🤫👎
Love it! The US fucking joke.
Didn't this guy die 6 months ago?
👍 LOL who cares.
We've been killing the top leader of Al Qaeda since 2001. You would think that we would have eliminated them all by now. Nope. We have to murder at least one of them whenever things look bad for one or the other nearly universally hated political party, that holds monopoly power in the US.
"We hate you Brandon/TRUUUUMP!!!/Obummer!/Bush 2"
"Look you guys! I killed a dude in the Middle East. Do you love me now?"
who cares?
"Fun" fact: Al-Qaeda was the name of the database, compiled by the CIA, of all the Moudjahidins (US-sponsored Afghani freedom fighters back in the 80s) .
Look it up, and draw your own conclusion.
Mine is any kind of politics: geopolitics, domesticl and international is a form of performative art.
The real question any mentally healthy adults should ask themselves is: what is the end goal?
I swear Obama and Joe Biden have been killing brown people for decades now. The news reported that this guy died of natural causes years ago. Now he's dead again?
LOL They killed that Guy years ago. When I heard the name I was like "wtf?!". Mandela Effect, anyone?
I dont believe it. We never killed Osama Bin Laden. He died in Toro Boro.
We want to see the names in Maxwell's little black book. All this bullshit is a distraction. Depp, Taiwan trips, etc. Let's see the names.
“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.”
– George Orwell
Time to declare "Mission Accomplished" yet again. All of these invasions were clearly worth it.
A US military team killed him…then the team died. Perfect lie.
Yes, I always know someone knows what they are talking about and sincere when they say blah blah blah.
The Pentagon will do that to all their allies
CIA = FAKE news
The state department has it covered. The day it happened they said America would be safer. The next day they said we would be less safe because of possible revenge action because of the killing.
Surprised they didn't go in full commando
The surprise end is: No one can confirm his identity! although the handicapped 129 years old is no longer actually a threat even to his toilet seat but Biden who desperately needs this can't confirm his identity. Republicans are going to win both senate and presidential in landslides, while Sam Seder is still going after progressives
Jimmy Dore's show wouldn't exist without Kurt Metzger laughs.
The main reason I see this show is that Metzger's laughs makes me feel lighter, my personal problems just vanish.
I feel relieved, happy, light as a feather.
Keep up with the laughs, Metzger, we need you!
20+ years too late. Forget it sleepy Joe, no one really cares that yoy finally did something good and the one good thing was 20+ years too late.
