That hasn’t worked out so well for us in the past, General.
Has he been hanging with john mcLame?
They bombed the Pentagon, and now the Pentagon
(previously protecting America) will arm them.
So who won?
Those who jumped from the WTC would be astonished
that al Qaeda is in the Pentagon, and funded by
the Pentagon, and that Hasan still breathes.
That started by the British during WWII.
This makes dumb look bright
Great idea. /sarc
So brilliant that only the echelons beyond reality could come up with it.
ISIS is mostly Sunni, and Al Qaeda is mostly Sunni. I wonder how long it would take for Al Qaeda to negotiate a place in the ranks of ISIS.
We have perfectly good potential allies in the area - the Kurds. We should provide THEM with weapons, and air cover to shoot down any Turkish planes that try to bomb them.
this only make sense if you look short term. Military tactician don’t look long term
Thought I would add that this idea is something you would read at the Duffle Blog...ex:

West Point needs to be closed until actual military teachers can be found or trained to teach American soldiers how to lead rather than get their men killed and their country beaten.
RE: David Petraeus’ bright idea: give terrorists weapons to beat terrorists
We’ve already done that in Syria ( thanks to John McCain ).
Over 30 years ago, we also did that to Afghanistan in our war against the Soviets. The end result was the Taliban and Osama Bin Ladin with Mullah Omar having our weapons.
We also sided with Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran and gave him weapons. A lot of good that did us.
Hasn’t he learned his lesson?
All that illegal sharing of confidential information must have affected his brain.
al-Qaida is a named enemy of the United States in statutory law. Aiding that organization is treason by legal definition.
Already being done at full throttle; duh?
As to how it all ends, it will be beyond your wildest imaginations.
Yeah! But he can run two miles really fast!

Great idea. Because we’d never see any blowback from it. Ever.
Same guy who was worried more about somebody burning Korans than fighting the enemy.
Gee why didn’t I think of that? Instead of something really stupid like taking and holding the oil wells so ISIS has no money? :-)
Trevor Trimm’s attempting to create cover for Hillary - the desperation has a stench to it...
Must be one of his cronies wants the arms supply contact.
