Just days ago we posted “Experts: America facing imminent terror threat,” which included a link to the conservative GOP Daily Dose —- showing numerous photos of AZ Sen. John McCain meeting with the head of ISIS on a secret trip to Syria last year. During the meeting McCain was reported to have promised the revolutionaries weapons, training, and funding. He referred to them as “freedom fighters.”
McCain calls the photos a “fabrication,’ even telling the Arizona Republic that attempts to link the Syrian rebels in the photo to ISIS was “fairly ridiculous.”
The denials from John McCain impart a particular ironic twist to the news report of an American jihadist with the unlikely name, Douglas McAuthur McCain. The 33-year-old Muslim convert was killed over the weekend fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
NBC News has the full report.
