Yesterday, Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner approved the spending of $ 500,000,000 of US Taxpayer Dollars to “train” 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels in Saudi Arabia for one year.
Here are a few discussion points that were NOT mentioned by Boehner:
* Each Syrian Muslim Rebel will cost $ 100,000 to train.
* 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will be removed from the battlefields in Syria to a training site in Saudi Arabia for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with reduced protection from attack by Syrian Army troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with NO protection from attack by ISIS troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria will help both the Syrian and ISIS troops to more easily take over areas controlled by the Syrian Muslim Rebels.
BTW, before the US Senate approved Boehner’s Bailout Bill today did any US Senator mention that removing 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria, was in effect, “Giving Aid and comfort to the ENEMY” for the period of one year?
I know I won’t want to hear the answer...but do they have 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels signed on to do this? I think it is a terrible idea, but just wondering if they actually have people willing to do this or if it is just another excuse to spend money we don’t have.
Maybe Bashar Assad will win while the US is training future ISIS terrorists. It would be a fantastic quirk of “unintended consequences”. That is, until the ISIS folks we trained and armed (while not being able to afford bullets for our own troops to practice, or to afford training time for our own soldiers...) come through our southern border...
