I always saw "Ulfric is an asset" as being more akin to the Dragons being an "asset" just something that is causing a problem for the Empire. I never took it to mean Ulfric had back end dealings with the Thalmor or that this whole Civil War was just 1 deep cover Thalmor agent causing problems for the Empire to weaken them. I mean, we could just as easily say the Thalmor wrote that up as a coverup for Ulfric escaping. instead of looking like total boobs, they make it look like it was all planned out.
