The House on Wednesday approved President Obama’s plan to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels....
...it put lawmakers on record approving U.S. engagement in the years-long Syrian civil war. It delivered Obama much-needed domestic political support...
....Obama’s proposal was opposed by more than 40 percent of Democrats...Republicans provided the lion’s share of support, but many are worried that Obama’s plans are too limited....

We are funding our enemies.
This is beyond stupid.
So, 0 needs Congress to approve the spending - to train/equip these whatever’s - yet he can go it alone on the strikes? Upsidedown BizarroWorld.
These folks are idiots. I guess the plan is to continue to weaponize ISIS.
Does this mean we will be PROFILING the “Syrian Moderates”?
>> This is beyond stupid.
That’s why they’re the Stupid Party. They couldn’t pour pee out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
Very dopey move. Its akin to do gooders giving presents to poor kids in the hood. As soon as they leave, the thugs take them. The US ought to put tracking devices on these arms and see where they end up. But they won’t.
We should give them retired US passenger jumbo jets to practice on - hate to have good weaponry go to waste.
Mo Brooks, my rep, voted against it.
Boner and McSurrender would have opposed Obaba’s “Let’s send more USA weapons to the Terrorists” plan, if Obaba did not have all those pics of them in women’s undies doing odd stuff.
/s?
Have we learned NOTHING?
Why are we arming people that are our enemies?
Would that not be the definition of insanity?
Our Nation has so lost its way!
Boehner and the GOPe join the leading from behind crowd. The mideast is a cluster fomented by this White Hut.
I have NO representation, to support this act of war in such a piecemeal manner is absurd and will do nothing except drain more borrowed money from our treasury. The lawlessness is now throughout every branch of our federal government and law be damned seems to be the mantra. Keep your powder dry ...I see no legal avenue left for civilized Americans to partake in. Where is the “budget” why are we even allowing another continuing resolution?...CLOSE IT DOWN, ARREST all complicit for the numerous high crimes and treason and regroup with representation that follows constitutional procedure. Just my opinion and I type this with a heavy heavy heart.
