Syrian revolution and claims
Do you remember when people like me and a few others were insisting that Jihadi terrorist types are among the most active fighters in the Syrian "revolution" how we were attacked and we were told that, no, the ones who are actually fighting and leading the fight in Syria are a combination of Sufis, sex-loving couples, and hippies? I remember. I no more read that kind of analysis anymore alas. Or the notion that a woman (usually Suhayr Al-Atasi who recently resigned from some ineffectual body or another) is leading the Syrian "revolution"? One days someone would write a book about the American war lobby and propaganda surrounding the Syrian "revolution".
