Al Qaida-linked group Syria rebels once denied now key to anti-Assad victories

Nearly a year later, however, Jabhat al Nusra, which U.S. officials believe has links to al Qaida, has become essential to the frontline operations of the rebels fighting to topple Assad.

“When we finish with Assad, we will fight the U.S.!” one Nusra fighter shouted in the northeastern Syrian city of Ras al Ayn when he was told an American journalist present. He laughed as he said it and then got into a van and drove off, leaving the journalist unable to ask whether it had been a joke.

The least the rebels can do is wait until Obama arms them.

I hope Assad kicks their ass. I’m not going to root for Al Qaeda just because “0bama’s U.S.” has sided with them. F that. If hoping Al Qaeda loses makes me unAmerican, so be it.

It is against the law to arm and abet Al Qaida.

Senator McStupid was over there plotting with Al Qaida. They are supposedly spying on and hand raping us at the airports to keep us safe from Al Qaida while the President arm and empower them. Our leaders and government are sick.

Obama is out-thought by just about everyone on the planet.

He must have some sage advisers. /s

We could become allies with Russia again, just like in WW II.

Any Syrians worthy of backing against Assad have either been killed or fled the country.

Assad may be the best alternative, if he stays in power, his chemical weapons will at least stay put.

If he falls, the chemical weapons could fall into worse hands than his.

That will be easy for them, since we’re planning on bringing them over here, anyway.

We armed them in Afghanistan, then wound up fighting them. I don’t know Obama and the Demoblicans think these scorpions’ nature has changed.

Sounds like Obama's plan. He has been toppling secular governments and preparing the way for the creation of the Greater Caliphate which will unite to attack Israel and then the rest of the West.

We armed the Soviets 70 years ago, and wound up fighting them.
