What's "ISIS in White House" in reference to? I don't think there's even any Muslims in the Trump cabinet, are there? I'm sure he's made some sort of racist connection but it's so tenuous I can't even tell what it's supposed to be.

    Nah, this week an ex al qaeda member/leader visited trump in the white house. Lots of smiles and handshakes.

    Thanks for that, though not for also obfuscating that it’s the President of Syria you’re talking about. It’s a very different story when you miss that part out, isn’t it?

    None of this makes sense:

    • al Qaeda is in Afghanistan
    • ISIS is largely in Iraq and Syria
    • President of Syria joined "al Qaeda in Iraq", which is affiliated with al qaeda, but isn't the same org

    Basically, the Syrian President worked with an al Qaeda affiliated group to take down Assad and fight against ISIS.

    I'm guessing they don't know anything about ISIS or al Qaeda and probably think Iraq was somehow involved in 9/11.
