The rebels are not freedom-lovers of any kind. Most of what is going on is internecine religious fighting between Alawites, of which Assad is a member, an off shoot of Sh'ite Iran, making them natural allies. Alawites govern Syria despite only comprising 5% of the Syrian population. The Sunnis of Lebanon are bent on revenge against Syria and Iran for the way they've taken over their country, other misdeeds, crimes. Nothing good will come of this. The term 'Moderate factions' is a joke, moderate depending on who you compare them to. As in the rest of the 'Arab Spring' countries, extremists will soon be running Syria.

lbryce~:” The rebels are not freedom-lovers of any kind.”

The Moose-limb brotherhood = Sharia
Sharia = SUBMISSION
How can SUBMISSION = FREEDOM ?

Only in Reid’s and Zippy’s mind

Giving US ordnance to Al Qaeda Sunnis to fight the Shiites? Looks like Barry Obama is making his personal religious war that of the USA?

And then these same weapons will be turned on Israel, other US allies, and our own troops.

DUH???????

Looks like the Muslim Brotherhood is now in control of US foreign policy.

I THOUGHT WE WERE IN SEQUESTER!

I THOUGHT GUNS IN THE HANDS OF CITIZENS WAS A DANGER! Obama trusts Islamic militants with guns more than he does American citizens.

Does any intelligent person actually believe that the United States is giving them food, giving them medical aid, giving them military training in Jordan but not supplying them weapons? There were stories well over a year ago about shipment of modern western arms with no serial numbers pouring into Syria.

Is there any doubt that for the next 20 years we will find any arms we give them being used against Americans throughout the world? This is lunacy.

It is the ultimate irony that our government sees nothing wrong with sending heavy weapons to al Qaeda, while simultaneously disarming American citizens.

Distraction from Benghazi. The Administration will announce the new policy tomorrow.

So now even Uncle Scam openly admits that the US taxpayer is arming Al Qaeda to kill Christians in Syria.

Remember that as Grandma is being groped at the airport and all your phone calls, emails, financial records, and every movement is being surveilled and recorded by TSA/DHS/NSA/FBI/CIA.

The stupidity of those running our country is only surpassed by their criminality. This is evidence of both.

What a bloody moron this anonymous Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is. Senator, the United States was already arming the New Syrian Army with ex-Libyan weapons shipped out of Benghazi by the CIA to Turkey to arm the NSA. That's what the Benghazi “terrorist” attack was about. Stay out of Syria and let the Muslims kill each other. The only thing the U.S. can possibly do is screw-up things even worse than it has. The Israelis will take care of business to stop the weapons coming from Iran to arm Hamas and Hezbullah in Lebanon.

Yet another astounding foreign policy failure begins to take shape. No one advocating invention (and taking sides IS intervention) in Syria has presented a compelling reason why it’s in America’s interests to step into that morass on the side of al-Qaida - aligned jihadis who have already given death threats to Syrian Christians.

Not one dollar of American treasure and not one drop of American blood for muslims... ever again.

Syria is not our conflict. Stay out, America... you’ll just f**k up the works anyway.

If Assad would come out as Gay, Obama would be arming him.

We need a prime directive like they have on Star Trek.. We don’t need to get involved in someone else’s internal affairs, especially a civil war.

As much as I despise Assad, the best we could hope for would be for him to hold power. It’s too bad he hurt Obama’s feelings, and now the region and the world will suffer with whatever worse government replaces him. I’m still hoping that Russia will save Assad and us - they are far less anti-American than Obama and his people are.

FTA: "I do think we’ll be arming the opposition shortly," Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee said in an interview. "We’re doing a lot more there on the ground than really is known"

So that is why he and Chambliss were invited to play golf with The Punk.
0bama wanted to sweet talk them into supporting his attempt to arm more of his Muslim Brotherhood allies in yet another attempt to depose a semi-secular leader so that the shariaist - jihadis can take over another nation.

This is stupid. Arming one bunch of subhuman savages so they can fight other subhuman savages is stupid. When they finish trying kill each other, the arms are used against civilized countries.

The United States will “shortly” admit to arming the “rebels”. They won’t admit that they are arming Al Qaeda but the results will speak for themselves.

In the middle east there aren’t any really good solutions. The current project will take down an Iranian ally and replace it with another Muslim Brotherhood government.

The only peace in the middle east continues to be the area occupied and defended by Israel.
