Imagine a scene, if you will, in which Osama bin Laden strolls through the front door of the White House with his Kalashnikov rifle (now hanging in the CIA’s private museum) slung over his shoulder to meet with the American president, his administration, and leaders of Congress. In the White House and on Capitol Hill, the man responsible for the September 11 attacks on America that caused 2,977 deaths and the destruction of the Twin Towers in downtown Manhattan delivers lectures on freedom and democracy. After which, guarded by the U.S. Secret Service, he rides in a presidential motorcade to visit Ground Zero, where the World Trade Center once soared 110-stories high.
Would the American people ever accept such a spectacle? Of course not.
So ask yourself, how is that twisted scenario any different from President Donald Trump welcoming into the White House on November 10 a jihadist imprisoned for killing American soldiers in Iraq under the terrorist moniker Abu Mohammad al-Julani—a man who as recently as last December had been designated a terrorist by the U.S. government with a $10 million bounty on his head? The unelected interim president of Syria has dropped his nom de plume and now goes by Ahmed al-Sharaa.
