He fought Americans in Iraq, got caught, managed to convince them he was Iraqi, joined alqaeda, created his own group in syria and pledged allegiance to alqaeda. Alqaeda in iraq decided to turn to isis. figured they were a hopeless case and refused to join them. Separated himself from alqaeda and managed to avoid being obliterated by the US during their war against ISIS. Finally ruled syria.
If thatโs not smart, I donโ know what is smart.
