President Barack Obama is asking Congress for $500 million to train and arm vetted members of the Syrian opposition, as the U.S. grapples for a way to stem a civil war that has also fueled the al-Qaida inspired insurgency in neighboring Iraq.
The military training program would deepen the Obama administration's involvement in the more than four-year conflict between rebels and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. If approved by Congress, the program would supplement a covert train-and-assistance program run by U.S. intelligence agencies.

They looted $400 million from banks.
Oh Come On Folks! ... You silly right wingers... This money is for the MODERATE rebels. Both of them.
Obama fulfills Islamic prophecy.
He is helping to establish the Global Caliphate while destroying the Great Satan from within. Muslims see Obama as a prophetic sign that their time to conquer the world is at hand.
Obama is the John The Baptist of the Islamic “messiah”, whom we Christians would understand to be the end-time Anti-Christ/ false prophet.
But he’s kidding, right? ISIS has enough guns and money and has been trained enough at US expense. If you arm and training anybody fighting in Syria you have no guarantee whatsoever that ISIS won’t benefit.
I agree, no.
Because Obama is arming, training, funding, hiding, and providing political cover for the Sunnis. That must be the faction he belongs to.
What I can’t figure out is why the military hasn’t named Obama as an enemy combatant and used Obama’s prescribed treatment for “deemed” enemy combatants - those who deserve a drone in their backside because somebody has decided that they are arming, training, funding, hiding, and/or providing political cover for terrorists...
Vetted? You are kidding me. Did McCain pose with vetted members of the rebels? Nope. We would be arming the Iraq enemy.
Well if you go by the definition of insanity then yes, he is insane.
We’all is so bambozzled. I used to support the war on terror, until I realized that USG and NWO-east/NWO-west have turned it into a tool: *hopey-changey* and we’all is the enemies, paying for their facades and our future enslavement.
“vetted members” of the Syrian opposition?
ya mean the moderate allu akhbar muslims”?
ygbsm
Obama ought to be kissing Assad’s ring
Silly fools seem real good at killing each other without our help.
Just who the hell is making money by us being involved?
Our President is a loon. Assad is the only one besides Iran attacking ISIS right now. Obama is sitting on his but pondering where he will golf next.
Don’t kid yourself. He may still get it.
Soooooo, is anyone in the GOP going to say “so you want to give ISIS $500 million?”. CMON!!
Or, if he doesn't, he'll borrow it from other funds. Maybe from Foreign Aid.
Maybe Obama is offering matching funds. When it comes to destroying civilization, $400M doesn’t go as far as it used to.
Not insane, evil.
And a traitor who should be removed from office, tried for his crimes, and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
