Retired Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg joined Jesse Watters Prime Time on Monday night to react to President Joe Biden’s remarks on the CIA killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al Zawahiri over the weekend. Kellogg praised the CIA’s ability to conduct long-distance operations in Afghanistan and argued that both former President Donald Trump and Biden were right to argue you “don’t need troops on the ground” to conduct effective counter-terrorism operations in the country.
“I’m sure there is going to be some people that are alarmed at the fact that a guy like this, the brains and the philosophy behind al Qaeda, the number two now the number one is just living openly in the capital of Afghanistan” began Watters after introducing Kellogg.
“There must be more al Qaeda terrorists consolidating power there after we’ve left. Or you have people saying, you know, this is exactly what we wanted to do, conduct these counterterror strikes from the air without boots on the ground, using intelligence and using technology in order to keep our people safe. How do you see it?” Watters asked.
“I’m not going to lose any sleep tonight,” began Kellogg, praising Biden and U.S. intelligence for the killing of Zawahiri.
