REBRANDED AL QAEDA GROUP IN SYRIA RECEIVING US WEAPONS

Though many scoffed when the Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, Jabhat Al-Nusra, rebranded itself Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham, that cosmetic change was apparently enough to convince the US government to start sending them arms.

In the recent push by rebels in the city of Aleppo, Al-Nusra /Al-Sham took a leading role and was reportedly among the rebels groups who received US weapons. Those weapons will first be used to kill Syrian government troops and after that, well, who knows?

Many, if not most, of the rebel groups fighting the Syrian government are jihadist and few have any serious objection to Al-Nusra participating in their operations, especially given that Al-Nusra has proven to be one of the most effective groups on the battlefield. If Al-Sham and fellow Sunni jihadists prevail over Syrian government forces, a genocide will likely commence against religious minorities in Syria, starting with the Alawites and moving on to other Shiites.

To the left a jihad revolution and a communist revolution is almost the same thing.

This is almost as bad as kissing up to Turkey.

Al Nusra Front= Al Qaeda in Syria
Calling them “ islamists” is like calling Westboro Baptist “ Christian”

[Starboard]

It must be confusing to be in special forces/operations these days. You may find your self being required to support today the same viscous people who tried to kill you yesterday.

More Juan approved F&F for jihadis?

What if Putin/Assad decided to use a neutron round or two to put an end to it? I don’t think we’d do anything, it would be just as well so long as it stopped. At least Assad isn’t killing off all the Christians. They (Al Quada or ISIS)can change their names to the Holy Mary Mother of God fighters, and they would still be what they are.

You mean all I have to do is ‘identify’ as a ‘freedom fighter’ and our GLORIOUS govt will send me the same tools that it denies its own CITIZENS (if not requiring numerous $$ and legal hoops to jump through)??

Sh!t, where do I sign up? I’ll have the garage cleaned-out immediately!

McCain, Graham and Rubio were involved in arming the jihadists in Syria and Libya.

They are going to get their feelings hurt if everyone keeps forgetting that.

If these mass-myrdering Arab terrorists are the most dangerous Islamonazi gang available, you can bet Obama will find ways to arm and fund them!

The US Government will hand over guns to anyone with
no accountability for its actions to anybody. But an
American citizen must go through a FBI background check
to purchase a shot gun or a pistol. It's even illegal to
sell or give your gun to someone else without some sort of
State or US government paperwork recording the transfer of
of the weapon. Something isn't right with this situation.

Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham,?????

This is a joke, right?

This group changes it’s name so that we will now send them arms and their new name is Al-Sham???

You can’t make this stuff up.
