I have no doubt that the Regime intended for the missile end users to be Syrians fighting Assad. But the notion that there would be few missile diversions or that all these nuts were going to form up, cut their hair and take orders from a pampered black guy is RIDICULOUS IN THE EXTREME.
They had and now have an unrealistic view of their ability to shape a VERY volatile state of affairs.
In some years they will shoot down an airliner. And the weapon provider will have been BHO and Hitlery.
The progressive/liberal mind has never been rational/realistic. Hallmark of the democrip mind is Magic Thinking. That’s why it is so damned dangerous to allow these anti-American vermin into power!
