A few months ago the rebel leader, Abu Mohammud al-Julani, who just toppled the Bashar al-Assad gov't in Syria, was labeled a "global terrorist" by the US gov't for his activities in Irag, Syria, and his links to al-Qaeda - Biden even imposed a $10 million bounty on his head!
LOL.. today if you watch the coverage of Assad's overthrow and listen to our State Dept tv analyists/experts, you'd think al-Julani is a democratic freedom fighter with no links to terrorism. Lawwd.
In other words, you're only a terrorist if you're fighting against United States & Western interests in the Middle East. Unbelievable!
