2010 Letter From Bin Laden Says Biden Would ‘Lead U.S. Into A Crisis’

A 2010 letter written by Osama bin Laden commanded al Qaeda to specifically not target Joe Biden because his presidency would be a disaster for America. The letter was discovered at Bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan after he was killed by U.S. forces in a 2011 raid.

The letter has been available to the public through the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. The contents revealed Bin Laden commanding his followers to spare the life of then U.S. Vice President Biden and instead concentrate on taking out Obama as it would lead to a Biden presidency.

The other target was former CIA director David Petraeus. Bin Laden referred to Petraeus as “the man of the house” throughout the war and said his assassination would impact the U.S. war mission in favor of al Qaeda.

The 9/11 mastermind added no assassination attempt would be made on Biden because he was “totally unprepared” to take the post of presidency, which would “lead the U.S. into a crisis.”

@MistyCee Don't tell me what I can or cannot post. Who are you? The post police?
@carpediem I didn't say anything about you posting it.

I get why seems topical, even, and I was just curious about quoting Bin Laden, so I dug back to see where the story came from.


I have many many faults, but telling people what they can or can't post is not one of them.

I may have opined sometime that someone shouldnt post something, but I wasn't doing that here.
@MistyCee Yes, it's old news, but news that few people paid attention to when it was disclosed.
@Heartlander k. I said for whatever it's worth.
