It’s indeed puzzling. The United States military has fired on Al Qaeda in Yemen with drone attacks, and yet John McCain supports a joint operation with Al Qaeda against the Assad regime in Syria. More conventional wisdom would be for the United States to allow Al Qaeda and Hezbollah to kill each other off while keeping a close watch on their activities rather than intervene in a conflict in which both sides pose a threat to American security interests.
