Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter five-year-old civil war.

US troops shouldn’t be fighting for any of the Muslim sects. They all hate us. The real threat to us is right here with Islam in the US. Ban Islam in US, deport Muslims, bring US troops home and put on our borders, institute a “pet the pig” requirement to board a plane or enter the country.

Let the Muslim factions fight with each other as long as they want. Getting non-Muslims out of there should be our only mission.

Yuri Orlov: But in the Iran Iraq war you sold arms to both sides.

Weissmann: Did you ever consider I wanted both sides to lose

Obama’s strategy is NOT of his own. Hillry and lord McCain helped build Obama’s strategy.. The uniparty is hip deep in Obama’s strategy.

Given BO's handling of the Middle East, having the recipients of US arms form a circular firing squad, while catastrophic in terms of US influence, may be the best case scenario.
