On the eve of Thanksgiving, two members of the West Virginia National Guard protecting Washington were attacked in a manner reminiscent of how jihadists surprised and murdered American servicemen during the war in Afghanistan.

That may be because, as President Trump announced last night, their assailant was an Afghan national imported after Joe Biden surrendered his nation to the Taliban.

Unfortunately, Biden not only admitted without screening tens of thousands of such likely Taliban operatives following the fall of Kabul. Countless other jihadists and apparent Chinese soldiers also came across his open borders.

In response to the Guardsmen’s shooting, President Trump pledged to remove “any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”

We will be very lucky – and must be very thankful – if the worst of what those misbegotten Biden policies unleashed is yesterday’s attack.

This is Frank Gaffney.
