The Spin

Republican narrative

While killing this IS leader will never bring back the dead or lift the burden of those whose family members were killed, it must force the Biden administration to own up to the responsibility of the chaotic and cold-hearted withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. With the Taliban systematically hunting people down, the war is not over — which points to a massive US government failure.

Breitbart

Democratic narrative

Though many in the US political establishment blame Biden for the Taliban's return to power, it was ultimately an inevitability of a failed war with George W. Bush and Donald Trump also bearing significant blame. While the news of the killing offers a reminder of one of the most challenging chapters of his presidency, it also highlights the role of the Trump administration in creating the mess by providing no plans for how to conduct the withdrawal or to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies.
