In an interview on @TheDailyShow, @jakejsullivan claims that the US "didn't" military intervene in Syria. @jonstewart reminds him that, in fact: "We did though in Syria, we just didn't talk about it." Jon invokes the fact that US arms went to al-Nusra -- the Al Qaeda front in Syria that now rules the country. He also tells a story of running into US operatives in neighboring Jordan, where the CIA trained insurgents and helped coordinate their offensives. In 2012, Jake Sullivan infamously wrote that "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria." This is the first time I've ever seen him asked about that policy. A rare moment where a US official is challenged over the dirty war in Syria.
