how vapid and meaningless is the term terrorist? US State Dept. today revokes terrorist designation from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (Al-Qaeda's Syrian branch) from it's official foreign terrorist organizations list.
They control Syria now and are playing ball and doing our biding and are working with us instead of against us now so they are no longer terrorists anymore I guess. 
reality: they are still full blown Sunni extremist terrorists, doing terroristy things like beheading and slaughtering al-awite and christian minorities in Syira.
can't make this shit up. lol.
