So they’re going over to train people who may or may not have been infiltrated by ISIS or Assad’s men? And those people being trained will be armed while the trainers may or may not be? Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

“........They could just waltz across Syria as their opposition was off at training camp in the UAE or someplace.”.....

Perhaps that “someplace else” is right here on American soil.

This is being pushed by McStain and Miss Linday. Training “moderate” Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. Its insane.

Well, this is what you get from the Democrats...a foreign policy that is a mix of American Idol and The Antique Roadshow.

And JFK authorized the use of Rainbow Herbicides. Something the left always blames on Nixon...

Wow, I didn’t know that.

But you are right.

“Operation Ranch Hand began in early 1962. Individual spray runs had to be approved by President John F. Kennedy until November 1962, when Kennedy gave the authority to approve most spray runs to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam and the U.S. Ambassador to South Vietnam.”

JFK, the Agent Orange President.
