Last night that Congress lady from Tennessee was on FOX and said they voted for it because Obama would have used the fact that they didn’t to hammer that the GOP really doesn’t care about going after ISIS and they only care about politics.
You know, it is the usual reason they cave all the time. Fear of media attacks.
Was it Marsha Blackburn? I really like her but a lot of the conservative reps are getting scared into these votes. They have prolly been told that we will take the Senate in Nov if they all just go along and don’t make waves.
That is what I believe they are doing. And yes, it was Blackburn. She did say that they didn’t believe the Obama plan would work. Geesh.

:We have to arm the moderate Rebels before we know if they are part of ISIS/ISIL. ...”
OUCH!
There is a link posted above with kids getting beheaded. It horrified me more than 9-11, something I never thought would happen. Click on an empty stomach..
I just realized that’s a beheaded person on the roof of that truck. My God, what animals. And the people around them are cheering..
While we’re at it, let’s arm the Crips and Bloods since they’re not as bad as MS13.
Those arse holes in DC don’t see and know their stupid ash idea to arm ‘moderate rebels’ is a high risk crapshoot? That includes you too GOP spaghetti spines.
Two days ago, Speaker Blank Check Boehner approved the spending of $ 500,000,000 of US Taxpayer Dollars to train 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels in Saudi Arabia for one year. IOW, another Boehner Bailout Bill to Obama.
Here are a few discussion points that were NOT mentioned by Boehner:
* Each Syrian Muslim Rebel will cost $ 100,000 to train.
* 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will be removed from the battlefields in Syria to a training site in Saudi Arabia for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with reduced protection from attack by Syrian Army troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with NO protection from attack by ISIS troops, for one year.
* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria will help both the Syrian and ISIS troops to more easily take over areas controlled by the Syrian Muslim Rebels.
BTW, did anyone notice if before the US Senate approved Boehners Bailout Bill yesterday, did any US Senator mention that removing 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria, was in effect, Giving aid and comfort to the ENEMY for the period of one year?
I wonder if there is similar information on american thinker about this by another author
‘Sounds like Pelosi doesn’t it?’..that was (sarc) and should have labeled it,but who knows with her.
After the famous ‘we have to pass it to find what’s in it’ and she stuck us with Obama Care. “Stretch” seems to have had her brain stapled or something, maybe accidental.
