@emptywheel I lean toward the idea that Gulf states pumped IS as alternative to US Syria policy they found insufficiently aggressive -
@chinahand Right. And some of those happen to be very close to the CIA. -
@emptywheel Maybe we'll see some dramatic JAN anvil in south/IS hammer in north action against Assad and few anti-IS airstrikes (or even -
@emptywheel anti-Assad airstrikes) in support of a regime-change roll of the dice that CIA/KSA would prefer.#ThisTimeWeveReallyGotHim -
@emptywheel Then if everything turns to sh*t (as KSA/CIA plans often do), then O switches to longer-term, more conservative Title 10 force -
