Fact Check: Joe Biden Claims, Falsely, He Vowed to Pursue Osama bin Laden to ‘Gates of Hell’

Joel B. Pollak 14 Apr 2021

CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed that he would pursue Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to the “gates of Hell.”

VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. John McCain said that, not Biden, who opposed the bin Laden raid. Biden used the phrase for ISIS.

In a nationally-televised address from the White House on Wednesday, President Biden announced that the U.S. would pull all troops out of Afghanistan by Sep. 11, 2021 — twenty years after the 9/11 terror attacks planned by bin Laden from the country, then under Taliban control. (It was also a goal President Donald Trump had committed to achieve by May 1, 2021, the tenth anniversary of the mission that killed bin Laden.)

He's in Washington DC, so he's already in Hell.

It's a strange kind of Hell where the residents live in the lap of luxury, while everybody outside is punished for the crimes of the residents.

Biden today: "I said, along with others, that we'd follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell if need be. That's exactly what we did, and we got him."
Biden actually opposed the Osama bin Laden raid.

McStain said that, did he?   Nothing about FOLLOWING him through the gates of that town in Michigan and killing him?

I do recall that Obama didn't want to kill Obama sin Laden, either.  Had to be pushed into it.   Then buried the beast with full honors instead of dragging his corpse through the streets of New York tied to a stampeding herd of pigs with diarrhea.

Oh, and Biden didn't only oppose the raid on Obama, he's the loud-mouthed fool that blabbed that it was Seal Team Six who did the heroic deed, putting them all at risk.
