I mean you have Jake Sullivan telling Hillary Clinton in an email that "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria"

Did you mean to say ISIS or am I missing something?

No, the email from 2011 said AQ. At the time the groups that would eventually become ISIS were not yet branding themselves as such and were still just an outgrowth of Al Qaeda. But it's the same thing as if they were to say ISIS today.

Ooh, I see what you mean! Thanks for the information and clarifying!

This is very helpful.
