Golly...I sure hope they gave back any US-supplied weapons before going over to the Islamists.

I saw that this morning and went looking for info on who was fighting in Syria. Interesting to note that we are on the same column as Al Qeada, Muslim Brotherhood, and a whole string of islamist groups.

This is what’s been happening for the past 3 years. Going in to help at this late date had no chance of success. They didn’t get the help they needed at the start, and they’ve slowly accepted more & more help from the islamists/terrorists.
Obama’s dithering screws things up again.

And, I believe there were plenty of people saying this was exactly what these people were going to do.

So, once again .. we have made the wrong choice (McCain) because some said we had to do this .. and now we’ve handed over more and more of our military supplies to the ENEMY.

Good grief .. when are the CONSERVATIVES going to STAND UP and start yelling about this stuff ..???

Not just Assad. Every one of these leaders US policy has done their regime change on had protected their minorities. Why does Obama favor regimes that slaughter Christians and other minorities? And how can Saudi and Qatar be our allies by that standard?
