        That is an amazing thread. Concise while still respecting the complexity of the situation.

        But it’ll never get the exposure of self exculpatory long form essays in the Atlantic by former senior officials.

        Replying to @faysalitani

        A strong thread, but somewhat misleading on the FSA. Makes it sound like they were a single entity with a hierarchy. The choices were between a quasi army (SDF) and web of dozens of separate jihadists groups under the FSA umbrella. Who often fought amongst themselves.

        No jihadist groups would claim that brand, or take US support, so I'm not sure where you're coming from there. But yes he is using fsa as a very imperfect shorthand though we know what he's talking about in terms of policy choices etc.

        That's the benefit of being a thought leader. Your analysis will impart upon various issues in an observable manner.

        Sad Faysal, given the number of omissions, errors and distortions. Though I am glad to hear you want Turkey to return to a cease fire and peace talks with the PKK.
