  1. So maybe Trump’s new policy plan is "Make the Americas Great Again”

  2. Trump after meeting mexican president : “We didn’t discuss who pays for the wall."

  3. Trump after meeting Mexican President “We recognise the sovereign right of any country to build a wall on it’s border.”

  4. The joint statement between Mexican President & Trump is fascinating glimpse of what a US State visit might look like for real next year

  5. Hillary Clinton:“We can’t contain ISIS we have to defeat them.” The comment is pointed now at Trump but it was too long the policy of Obama

  6. . "‘We have no information to support’ Russia’s claims it killed ISIS’s al-Adnani A diplomatic way of saying “Bullsh*t!"

  7. Reuters told by US Defence official that "Russia's claim is a joke,” that they not US killed ISIS’s al-Adnani in an airstrike.

  8. Al-Adnani very important but over egging it by suggesting he might be more important to ISIS than al-Baghdadi

  9. US has so far only said this on al-Adnani death. But if they have killed him they’ll be very pleased with themselves

  10. 23. Why would you want to prove your lineage from the al-Quraishi tribe? Well one reason is if you're angling to replace a certain caliph

  11. ISIS official declaration of al-Adnani death. He was killed 'while surveying military operations' in Aleppo province

  12. 19. The ISIS-affiliated Khilafa News account has just published a more detailed account on Adnani's death

  13. Al-Adnani was way more than a spokesman for ISIS. He was the group’s charisma, wooing a new generation of jihadis away Al-Qaeda & into ISIS.

  14. Al-Adnani’s death a big blow for ISIS. He announced the creation of the ‘Islamic State’ He publicly broke with & mocked Al-Qaeda leadership

  15. Worth recalling how radical a departure from Al-Qaeda’s big complicated ‘spectaculars’ that Al-Adnani’s 'lone wolf’ call turned out to be

  16. ISIS’s Al-Adnani in Sept 2014 called for attacking the French & the ‘slaughter’ of Westerners with knives or 'run him over with your car'

  17. If ISIS spokesman Al-Adnani is dead it’s big news. He was the one to first articulate the group’s' lone wolf' strategy for attacks abroad

  18. Israel quietly legalizes settlement outposts in the West Bank

  19. 'Not being able to switch off is being seen for what it is — a sign of poor time management'

  20. Interviewed Ben-Eliezer for my book. He takes with him lots of secrets about Israel's shadier deals with Arab rulers
