Judicial Watch really needs to fact-check its stories to avoid obvious errors like this . . .
What are the errors?
The statement "Graham is a republican and the rest are Democrats" could be more accurate and say "Graham is a NeoCon Republican and the rest are Liberal Interventionist Democrats". Saying it that way, the statement identifies which political party each is in as well as which foreign policy they subscribe to.
The issue, arming the Syrian rebels, is not about political parties, it is about foreign policy doctrine.
What do the NeoCons(R) think?
What do the Liberal Interventionists(D) think?
What so the Realists(R & D) think?
What do the Isolationists(R) think?
What do the Antiwar Pacifists(D) think.
In the spring of 2013 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee took a vote on whether or not to arm the Syrian Rebels. The committee voted 15 to 3 to arm the rebels. 15 republicans and democrats voted to arm the rebels and 3 republicans and democrats(2 dems plus 1 pub) voted against arming the rebels.
The committee vote was along doctrinal lines, not political party lines. The NeoCons, Realists, and Liberal Interventionists on the committee voted to arm the rebels. The Antiwar Pacifists and Isolationists on the committee voted against arming the rebels.
