"you got to make sure the Turks don't stop any shipment of arms to Syria....don't blow it like you did with the Mexican set deal....all you did there was make the American people more interested in stopping our plan"

President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad's regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would "waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction."
Those two sections prohibit sending weaponry to countries described in section 40(d): "The prohibitions contained in this section apply with respect to a country if the Secretary of State determines that the government of that country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism," Congress stated in the Arms Control Export Act.

...”He humbly stands at the door of the heart of the individual and knocks”....
Indeed ...but I do think He’s standing at the door of the church as a whole now and knocking to let Him in!
Too much in our churches today acts and does like the Laodicia Church ...and God spit them out of His mouth for their lukewarmness.
Unfortunately I’m afraid to wake them we must face another attach here....one that cannot be twisted by the media. Too many have forgotten 9/11 and or softened the impact it once had on the hearts and minds of Americans.
I sincerely hope you’re right...perhaps by looking ‘further ahead’ we can have that hope once more in our nation collectively.
What is amazing is this thread has only 80 post. If this post was about Miss America it would have 200+ post.
I’m glad Dear Leader is a Noble Peace Prize laureate. There’s no telling what a lesser mortal might do in his gargantuan shoes.
Maybe if Treason were given a graphic sexual connotation?
"you got to make sure the Turks don't stop any shipment of arms to Syria....don't blow it like you did with the Mexican set deal....all you did there was make the American people more interested in stopping our plan"
where to even begin to start....
House can refuse to fund this! In fact, they have a duty to defund this...even if it is only going to go down in history as a worthless piece of legislation. The action will show the level of treason and that it was recognized. Always, always remember ...Silence is complicity.
All these “lawyers” up on the Hill? None of them can figure out how to bring ‘obstruction of justice’ charges against the Senate regime? “Obstruction of justice and treason,” sounds like charges that need to at least be stated and put into the Congressional Record. And folks, I’m not just talking about Harry Reid here...this little band of Rino’s that think they control the majority need to be called up on the charges as well.
This is where I don’t know enough, but since this is dealing with government workers and war...would all these folks actually see a court martial, instead of civilian court? Which then all of this leads us, We the People, to look to our military to uphold this type of law.
Make no mistake on the military aspect here either as 0bama did some housecleaning of top brass last year. They may be just as complicit as the rest of the regime partners.
This all sucks and stinks to high heaven. Elections have consequences and I’m not just talking about for President. There is a small minority controlling congress, they never expected We the People to elect Tea Party people to get in there are ‘hold the line’ for us. As the Tea Party continues to set up and obstruct...WE need to revitalize and work to overturn the rest of the seats in the House and Senate.
How about Why?
My father, rest him soul, told me when I was a youngster that we would fall from within just like roman empire. Lazy fat corrupt unprincipled selfish and spiritually dead!
He was right...as usual
That alone is grounds for impeachment and removal. My Congressman gets another call today. Gotta at least keep planting seeds in their heads.
Same here. It is the very least we can do -- grumbling at the keyboard doesn't even make the list.
New tagline for the occasion...
Hand salute. Love your new tagline.
Really Obama? Treason should be on the lips of all of Americans... We don’t need any stinking red line to impeach your dumb a$$
Muslim Brotherhood. Brothers in arms.
So arms control for the citizens of the USA, but arms buildup for our enemies.
Is there any more doubt whose side this PUTUS is on?
Obama's love for the muslim brotherhood terrorists is boundless!
Never mind.
Never mind.
Yet Americans fiddle while America burns...
Treason. Aiding the enemy.
