3/ But our hubris led to us to believe that tepid, mostly secret support to the rebels could do the job. All it did was prolong the war, without ever being enough to help them win. We dragged the war on needlessly, and misled the rebels about what we were prepared to do. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ First, contrary to the belief of much of the establishment, there was no magic moment in 2011/12 when U.S. could have put our muscle behind the rebels to topple Assad. From the start, Iran/Russia had more at stake than us, & they were always going to do more than us to win. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Our real interest all along was defeating ISIS. And with the Turks unwilling to help, and our justifiable reluctance to send hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops into Syria (creating another Iraq-like disaster), we rightly turned to the Kurds and the SDF to do the job. — PolitiTweet.org
