Good interview and worth listening to. Obama is actively backing the radical Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaida elements (approx. 20,000 strong) of the rebellion while leaving the Free Syrian Army (approx. 800,000 strong) high and dry, warns retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely. Listen to radio interview at http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/general-obamas-backing-wrong-syrian-rebels/

Good Lord...this administration is BEYOND clueless. it would be hilarious if it wasn’t so serious.

The problem with Obama and his advisors, is that they know absolutely everything.  They don't need to consider traditional norms, or sound global policy norms.  They are here to change things.  Who cares if some mistakes are made along the way?

The guy only hears from Leftists, be they academic, on Capital Hill, or just his direct connects from the populace at large.

This is a guy hell bent on destruction of what we were.  Masterful job...

this administration is BEYOND clueless
*******
Its not clueless; its devious and intentional. Its very easy to predict Obama’s every move. Just think of what would be bad for America. That is always his course of action.

He could f#$k up polio.

When I was a kid we used this phrase and it is applicable to the zero.

[Parley Baer]

In his way of thinking he is backing the right rebels. He has always supported the Muslim Brotherhood.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Attempting to quell criticism of his proposal for a limited military mission in Syria, President Obama floated a more modest strategy today, saying that any U.S. action in Syria would have “no objective whatsoever.”

“I want to reassure our allies and the people of Syria that what we are about to undertake, if we undertake it at all, will have no purpose or goal,” he said. “This is consistent with U.S. foreign policy of the past.”

Obama’s just wrong period.

Pull out of the Middle East.

[Iron Munro]

Obama and Jarrett know what they are doing.

To us the rebels they are backing may be the wrong ones.

But they are the rebels Obama and Jarrett want to win the conflict and end up runing the Syrian government.

It matters not which rebels the kenyan backs, AQ is running the show and will continue to run the show regardless of what the kenyan does or does not.
