WASHINGTON – For President Joe Biden and his allies, the CIA drone strike that killed al-Qaida's top terrorist vindicated his decision a year ago to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and proved that the U.S. can attack militants from a safe remove.

To skeptics, it highlighted the vacuum created by the U.S. withdrawal and the perils of a Taliban-led Afghanistan where Islamic terrorist groups continue to operate and even thrive.
