In a sharp escalation of the U.S. role in Syria's bloody civil war, the White House announced late Thursday that it will provide military aid to rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad after confirming that his government used chemical weapons on the opposition.
Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes told reporters on a conference call that President Barack Obama had heard pleas from Syria's rebel Supreme Military Council (SMC) for more help. "Our aim is to be responsive," Rhodes said, underlining that the new assistance would have "direct military purposes."

Something to keep in mind if your holding mutual funds or force to in an IRA/401k...
Obama signed an executive order allowing mutual funds to deny refunds and transactions out for days or weeks during a declared “crisis”.
What does that mean?
Think Enron...rank and file people in the company stock plan were denied the ability to sell, while the top positions sold out their shares AND hedge funds shorted the stock into the ground.
I’m starting to think they will use a crisis literally loot the savings. I think the fix is in. The financial institutions will deny your exit WHILE shorting the shares your stuck holding during this “crisis”. You will be forced to be the bagholder and your money will literally be transfer to these investment houses and others in the know in days.
America will become Eronica.

What’s the executive order number? Not saying I doubt you, but there’s plenty of misinformation out there. I’d like to read the text of it, if you know.

Nothing worth winning since the prize is another victory for Al Quaeda/Muslim Brotherhood.
Incorrect.... The “Prize” is another nation destabilized which allows the IMF/World Bank to step in and take full control of that nation’s economic structure. Syria and Iran are the final two countries that have told the Globalist banksters to pound sand. So, the banksters do what they do best, get their mercenary military to go in and create a destabilized nation.

So now we are going to war to aid the rebels who have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda? How exactly does that work? Will anybody in the MSM notice? Will they say anything?

CIA preparing to deliver rebels arms through Turkey and Jordan
The CIA is preparing to deliver arms to rebel groups in Syria through clandestine bases in Turkey and Jordan that were expanded over the past year in an effort to establish reliable supply routes into the country for nonlethal material, U.S. officials said.

Ultimately O wants to turn this government over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Just like Egypt. The whole Chemical weapons thing is probably just a fabricated story to support these actions.
