“It was an ABSURD gotcha question..”

I agree. I also admit that I don’t know every faction in the Middle East, the various names of their leaders.

Our own government can’t decide what to call some of them (ISIS, ISIL, for instance).

This is an example of the use of political nuance, and the failure of foreign policy and strategy - that we draw a distinction between an Islamic enemy depending if they are called “Quds”, “Taliban”, “Hezbollah” or “Hamas”. Or if they are “Shiite”, “Sunni”, “Wahabbi”....or if our supposed “friends” are “Saudi Arabia” or “Turkey”.

If we can’t kill enough of our enemies to simplify such a list - then what the hell are we spending $Trillions of dollars in that part of the world?
