In 2010, Bakr and a small group of former Iraqi intelligence officers made Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the emir and later "caliph," the official leader of the Islamic State. They reasoned that Baghdadi, an educated cleric, would give the group a religious face.
Bakr was "a nationalist, not an Islamist," says Iraqi journalist Hisham al-Hashimi, as he recalls the former career officer, who was stationed with Hashimi's cousin at the Habbaniya Air Base. "Colonel Samir," as Hashimi calls him, "was highly intelligent, firm and an excellent logistician."

Our country is at war with adversaries who are decidedly more intelligent and ruthless than the morons currently occupying the white house.
Our enemies are more savvy than the idiots who put said cretins into the white house.
ISIS leadership is not jihadist. They recruit and exploit nutbags who are to do the dirty work.
