So, we are allied with our sworn enemies, al Qaida, in Syria. Should Americans be flying the al Qaida flag (do they have one?) now, or is this some sort of “discrete” alliance.

We all know that our leaders are clinically stupid, but isn´t their ability to be stupid reaching the point of slapstick? Don´t stupid people get something right, sometimes? Supporting an enemy that has devastated our country is going a bit too far, no?

If we follow the logic of our government, we not only have fought this band of cave dwellers for more than a decade, unsuccessfully, but they have now successfully become our allies. When will they (al Qaida) too be taken off the terrorist list?

It makes me wonder if al Qaida ever existed.
