The contrast between Israel taking out Fuad Shukr, a top Hezbollah leader, wanted for the Marine Corps Barracks bombing in Beirut which killed 241 U.S. military personnel, and Biden is cutting a deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, is a compelling indictment. But it was also inevitable.

One of the obsessions of this administration, like that of the Obama administration, was shutting down Gitmo and dismantling the last remains of the War on Terror.

Biden has sidelined 9/11 memorials and was freeing terrorists from Gitmo at a furious pace. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and a few other terrorists who couldn’t just be sent off to Africa or Eastern Europe were standing in the way. I was writing about the plot within the Biden administration two years ago.

Biden recently released Mohammed al-Qahtani, the 20th 9/11 hijacker, and Zuhail al-Sharabi, another hijacker for an expanded version of the 9/11 attacks from Guantanamo Bay, so it’s only fitting that he’s trying to cut a plea deal with the mastermind of the attacks.

But in 2009, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow terrorists had already entered their “Islamic” response to the charges against them which declared that “killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you” are “considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.”

Terrorism, the Islamic response explained, was an “offering” to Allah. It described the “blessed 11 September operation” as “our military attack”.

That’s an official confession without any duress whatsoever.

In 2023, I noted that, “Last week thousands of 9/11 families signed a letter asking Biden not to cut a deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: the Al-Qaeda mastermind of the attacks and many others.”

Biden boycotted the 9/11 ceremony. And assuming he even shows up this September, it’ll be to mumble something about his son and boast about having ended all the wars. He exploited and abused 9/11 families.

And his only reason for holding off on saving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s life was the upcoming election. Now that he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore, the deal with the devil is done.

The alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and two other terrorists being held on Guantánamo Bay will be spared the death penalty under a deal with prosecutors, it was revealed Wednesday.

The announcement came as a bitter pill to swallow for victims’ families who have anxiously awaited the conclusion of the case for nearly 24 years — many of whom felt death was the only appropriate punishment for the perpetrators of the heinous attacks.

“I am very disappointed. We waited patiently for a long time. I wanted the death penalty — the government has failed us,” Daniel D’Allara, whose twin brother, John, was one of 23 NYPD cops killed the day of the attacks, told The Post.

Retired cop Kathy Vigiano, wife of NYPD Det. Joseph Vigiano, who was killed on 9/11, said: “I am angry and disappointed that enemy combatants who killed thousands of Americans in our homeland are now able to exploit the US judicial system to their benefit, receiving support from American taxpayers for shelter, food, and healthcare for the rest of their lives.”

Biden betrayed America. As did his former boss. Their sympathies were always with the enemy. Never with us. Now that there’s no more election to worry about, he’s going to show even more of his true self.
