      @earwulf I see you 1) believe everything you read abt Syria and 2) ignore all the stuff abt CIA involvement in Syra?

      @emptywheel I'm willing to look at the Russian sponsored propaganda (globalresearch.ca) that's out there but I don't find it very credible.

      @earwulf And we are? Nuh uh. BOTH sides are deep deep deep in the propaganda game in Syria.

      @emptywheel There are lies and hidden motivations on "our" side as well, no doubt. The attempt to make Manaf Tlass seem credible for example

      @earwulf Sure, and the lies we told Russia to get the mandate we exceeded in Libya, which is why we can't get UN sanction in Syria.

      @emptywheel That's probably not the only reason the Russians are supporting Assad more strongly than they did Gaddaffi…

      @earwulf Sure, it's not the only reason. they see this (correctly) as a grand plan to remap hegemony in the ME. Pretty good reason to oppose

      @emptywheel But whose "grand plan"? The Syrian people just want freedom. The right to protest without being shot, to elect their government.

      @earwulf Given that it fits into KSA's aggressive plans, you might wonder how much it's motivated--or will be permitted--to be democratic.

      @earwulf I hope you're right! But that has nothing to do with the wisdom or not of our involvement.

          @emptywheel We should't get involved, we mostly aren't involved yet (outside sanctions) and the revolution can succeed without our meddling.

          @emptywheel …there isn't a groundswell of support inside syria for a "no fly zone" like their was in Libya, we should respect that...

          @emptywheel …The terrain is different, and the FSA may be developing the capacity to shoot down airplanes.

          @earwulf You and i have DRAMATICALLY different understandings of the involvement of us and our surrogates. Dramatically.

          @emptywheel Their are some foreign fighters, some Libyan veterans who work with FSA, a few islamists from Yemen, KSA etc acting on their own

          @emptywheel …also, estimates of 50k Assad ground troops already defected, deserted, or otherwise out of the fight show progress.
