State Department Adviser on Extremism Urges US to "Befriend" Al Qaeda
2014-02-01
[FrontPageMagazine] Officially there are no more terrorist attacks, just man-caused disasters brought about by offensive YouTube videos. Also there are no more terrorists. Just Violent Extremists. And there's no more counter-terrorism, just experts on Countering Violent Extremism.

William McCants was a U.S. State Department senior adviser for countering violent extremism and is a director of the Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings liberal think tank.

At the CFR's Foreign Affairs, McCants joined together with two others to argue that Ahrar al-Sham is, and I quote, "an al Qaeda--Linked Group Worth Befriending."

With the collapse of the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
, the Islamic Front is now the only game in town for the people who insist that we should counter Al Qaeda by supporting Al Qaeda.
*spit* May God strengthen the spines -- and guard the backs -- of those trying to fight the jihadis on one side and this fifth column expressing the administration's will on the other.
