Mark Simone, the voice of New York.

710 W.O.R.

Well, Michael Goodwin, the best columnist in America every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New York Post.

All his columns are up on the New York Post website.

Michael Goodwin. How you doing?

Good morning, Mark. Thank you.

Hey, you wrote a great column yesterday. The death of Sinwar, the incredible Israel taking out the Hamas leader.

It's a great moment. But as you point out, once again, it proves that old rule that Biden is always wrong about foreign policy.

Right. The Robert Gates line, which I didn't repeat in the column because I think it's so well known,

but he said that Joe Biden has always been wrong about national security and foreign affairs

for four decades.

Well, he said that a decade ago.

So we're now up to five, 50 years that Joe Biden has been wrong. And I think, Mark,

it's hard to say that's ever been more clear than what we've seen now. Because had Israel

listened to Biden and Harris and not go into Rafa, the Gaza city in the south, Sinwar would still be alive.

And remember how they condemned Israel, they threatened Israel, they browbeat them, they brought

in the opposition leader to the United States.

I mean, they did everything but try to lock up Netanyahu himself.

And he and the military command knew that they had to decapitate Hamas.

They had to disarm it if there was ever going to be an end to this because Hamas the ones in Qatar had said we will do it again and again and again now no no

prime minister worth the salt would ever let that happen You cannot let October 7th happen again and again and

again. And the only way to prevent that is to effectively destroy the enemy. That's what armies do.
