This is the problem with you truth denial clowns who don't read or have common sense.
The ploy was to invent Baghdadi, a figure whose very name establishes his Iraqi pedigree, install him as the head of a front organization called the Islamic State of Iraq and then arrange for Masri to swear allegiance to him.
Bu bu but the name changed.like that is supposed to discredit the actual creation of the storyline.
So the plot was to create a fake leader, tell the whole world that leader was fake, then create another fake leader and claim this one was real, and even give both fake leaders the same fake surname.
So you're both pushing the idea that al-Baghdadi is an imaginary person AND the idea that he was photographed meeting with McCain?Another plant indication here. You don't know how old the man is based off pics. Your problem is there are two pics of the man, one with a beard, one without it. All pics without the beard are with McCain. How are you proving this isn't true?

The US military got some actor to pretend to be a terrorist leader, and then had that actor meet McCain in public for publicity photos.

I don't need to know how old he is off of pics, he was born on June 28, 1971 so we know exactly how old he was. And @newworldafro's comparison shots used Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's beardless photo from when he was taken into US custody 10 years earlier. al-Baghdadi is clearly ALREADY older than the guy in the other photo and that was 10 years ago! Not to mention that they don't even look alike other than being Middle Eastern men of roughly the same size with the same haircut. al-Baghdadi has a longer face, flatter ears, fuller eyebrows, a wider nose, a rounder end of his nose, a thicker jaw, his stubble comes in more consistently without the patchy spots, and he's already an older man even in the ten-year old photo.
Not to mention that it would be stupid as fukk for them to have al-Baghdadi meet McCain in public and let the photos get out all over the place when ISIS was already famous and al-Baghdadi had already had a bounty on his head for two years.
