Did he?
Speaking with Brianna Keilar on CNN’s “New Day,” Kirby said the operation over the weekend, as President Biden announced Monday, killed al-Zawahiri on the third floor balcony of his safe house in Kabul, Afghanistan.
“We do not have DNA confirmation, Brianna. We’re not going to get that confirmation,” Kirby said. “Quite frankly, Brianna, based on the multiple sources and methods that we have gathered the information from, we don’t need it.”
Following Biden’s announcement, a senior administration official told reporters that the U.S. intelligence community has “high confidence” that the person killed was al-Zawahiri.

So we're just supposed to take their word for it? Isn't this the same administration that blew up some dude and a bunch of kids who were delivering water to the poor in Kabul? That insisted inflation was "transitory?" That the border is "secure?" That is redefining the term "recession" to be anything other than what we are currently experiencing?
Aren't these the same "intelligence" officials that had "high confidence" the Afghani army was ready to fight the Taliban off? Who claimed Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation?"
I'm not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt on this - what was the most senior al Qeada poobah doing sitting on the balcony of a "safe house" in Kabul? Isn't a "Safe house where you go to hide out? Why would he repeatedly go out on the balcony if he was in hiding? The whole thing sounds preposterous.
