    It is ABSOLUTELY true Assad is a jihad magnet--it's what made Syria like Spanish Civil War.

        @emptywheel What qualifies Assad as anymore a "jihad magnet" than our brutish Gulf Allies if not the deliberating stoking of sectarianism?

        @franklin19788 That's what folo-up tweet about. Saudis are training us to take out their foes in response to ISIS. Like an obedient pup

        @emptywheel No it is not. The Jihad magnet was the money the Gulf/U.S. spend to hire fighters and weapons.

        @MoonofA That's what second tweet said. Jihadis were paid to come, definitely. But PR (much western written) made civil war sexy.

        @emptywheel The "civil" war, planned since 2006, was induced and executed from the outside. There was no generic Syrian civil war.

        @emptywheel @lrozen Which is weird if you buy Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the root of all terrorism and Assad as prime enemy of Israel.

        @emptywheel @lrozen The parallels with the Spanish civil war break down before you even scratch under the surface.

        @emptywheel If he's a "magnet", then he's the worst magnet ever - doesn't explain Nigeria, Yemen, Mali, etc etc etc

        @emptywheel @Amaliada Why is Assad alive? One of the great mysteries of all times.
