@hoyagirl02 Absolutely. Reason I asked question. THere is no logical explanation for why Assad would cross Red Line in small, not big, way. -
@emptywheel And, for that matter, the same goes for talking about a monolithic FSA -

@emptywheel Agreed

@THEARYAN1 That doesn't actually answer question. This appears to have been gratuitous crossing of Red Line, w/no apparent tactical benefit. -
