Watching Assad fight Al Qaeda in Syria is like watching the ant war when you shovel a mound of red ants on top of a fire ant bed. No matter who wins there are fewer ants left to bite you.

That is stupid thinking. Sunni Islam jihadists winning there would actually create more ants as more Sunni Muslims see jihad works and flock to it.

This notion that the Syrian war will weaken both our enemies is false. Sunni jihad is the real threat and always has been.

Incorrect. That war weakens both sides. Win. Win.
