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

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

5/ But we knew that this would enrage the Turks (and it did), but we just closed our eyes to the coming political nightmare. We had 1 (yes, ONE) diplomat in northern Syria for much of 2015-17 trying to figure out the politics of post-ISIS northern Syria. — PolitiTweet.org
