So, just to be clear... During this transaction between Al Qaeda and ISIS, during and after the violence had occurred. Were both sides screaming ALLAHU AKBAR?
A recent suicide bombing in southern Syria shows the rivalry between Al Qaeda and ISIS is more than just a contest to see who can kill the most infidels -- the groups are using classic terror techniques on each other.
...
While ISIS and Al Nusra fight common enemies as well as each other north of Damascus, the two terror groups are in an all-out war south of the capital, along the Israeli border. It is in that part of the hugely complex Syrian conflict where the bitter infighting between the Sunni Muslim terrorist groups is most deadly and direct.
ISIS has largely captured the international spotlight from Al Qaeda, the group from which it sprang, with mass executions, gruesome beheadings and even the apparent use of chemical weapons. But while the black-clad killers have sown fear across the globe, the organization behind the infamous 9/11, 7/7, and countless other major atrocities, is not surrendering its longtime perch atop the terror heap.
I would think there might be some truth to that, there was a program on PBS Frontline about ISIS in Afghanistan, ISIS is taking over areas of Afghanistan that was once controlled by the Taliban. ISIS is killing any Taliban member that doesn't defect to ISIS.
Like you, I am challenged to believe anything coming out of the ME.
We didn't even know if Saddam had WMD and yet, we're supposed to believe all these half-assed news reports coming out of the M.E. about the inner workings of super secretive terror organizations.
I pay this stuff no mind.

I laugh every time I hear we've taken out the #1 or #2 guy.
As if they will fall apart.
My thing is, how in the hell do they know who's the "number two guy" in these groups? Did ISIS or Al Qaeda put out a news release and hold a promotion party?
It's all nonsense designed to make us think we're doing something.

Read your paragraph again and think about it. Not that what you're saying is wrong, but it just illustrates how convoluted this mess is. We don't know squat about what's going on. We're just guessing, and so are our Intel agencies. They're just making it up as they go along.
Perfect reason to get the hell out of the Middle East and let them fix their own issues.
