Sometimes, to win the war, it’s necessary to align with some rather distasteful “allies” in a marriage of convenience. We did exactly that with Stalin’s USSR in World War II. If the clown show known as the American government had any semblance of forethought, instead of backing al-Qaeda all these many months, it would’ve been conversing with Assad’s government and backed a sovereign Syria against the ISIS cancer.
What happened to Barkey’s “red line” ?
The Obama admin would rather deal with religion than with statists. But only if the religion is Islam.
Funny how that works.
