how moderate? it’s a pretty fuzzy word considering the extremes you find in that screwed up part of the world
-- are not a bit different than the Islamists if they're going to allow the Islamists to seize power like what happened in Egypt after the smoke cleared. My opinion is there's no need to discriminate if US air power is used: they're all Viet Cong when the cluster bombs explode, as far as I am concerned.
I wonder if Obama is going to use ISIS as cover for another attempt to overthrow Assad and get the rest of the Christians killed?
There is no such thing as a moderate Islamist.
They will all be IS eventually.
ISIS has very effective recruitment techniques.
There is only one good type of muslim.
Nice job Obama (sarcasm)
>The moderate rebels of Syria are not finished.<
.
Here we go again.
The word ‘moderate’ being used in conjunction with islamists.
On a scale from 1 to 10, the latter number describing ISIS, where do we place moderate muzzies and where do we categorize peaceful muzzies?
Why don’t the moderates just JOIN Assad? It seems like they’d be less likely to be beheaded by him compared to ISIS.
There are no moderate Islamic terrorists.
There are no moderate muslims.
Here we go again, equating Syrian rebels with islamists.
I wonder why Assad never lifts a finger to save any Syrian Christians?
The FSA aren’t islamic terrorists, but nice try.
What are they?
Assad gunned down thousands of Syrians, arrested and beat up schoolchildren, and purged his own military of these very same folks. IOW, no.
The best approach toward a muzzie civil war is, make sure no one in the fight runs out of ammo.
Egypt is attempting to eradicate the muslim brotherhood Obama & Hillary supported.
~I wonder why Assad never lifts a finger to save any Syrian Christians?~
Why do you think so?
