Documents released by the US government's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website have provided an indication of the types and numbers of Eastern European weapons and ammunition the United States is providing to Syrian rebel groups as part of a programme that continues despite the widely respected ceasefire in that country.

It’s hard NOT to conclude that the whole Arab Spring thing was an elaborate conspiracy to destabilize the Middle East & flood Europe with Muslims.
Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton deliberately took down Egypt, Libya and tried to take down Syrian government, in order to give the Muslim Brotherhood more power.
Isn’t it true that most of the rebel force belong to ISIS or AQ??? and so we are arming our enemy?? and so the enemy of the US is a friend of Obama’s and his people?? therefore doesn’t is follow that Obama is the our enemy???
Except the hard left never thinks about their actions. Did you no the State Dept has never done a review of any of their actions.
Oh good...More weapons and ammo to shoot at Russian and American troops...Or, just to hand over to their allies, ISIS...

Fast n Furious?
Democrats are providing weapons to people?
Impossible. They would never do that.
Well, unless they could personally make some money by doing it.

Accualy this is an AQ/ISIS related groups re-supply.
With help from McCain, Graham and Rubio
that is the Free Republic dogma. Originally, the “rebels’ were syrians including defecting officers and soldiers of the syrian military. their HQ was in turkey just over the border. their objective was overthrowing Assad
There was a coalition including the USA, Turkey, Jordan and the GCC arabs.
For reasons I do not know Obama abandoned the group and it pretty much fell apart and ISIS took over the attaack on Syria and Iraq. I suspect Obama had no clue to what was in process and abandoned the effort...... 2014 i think, but perhaps earlier. The effort in this thread is the result of Obama declaring the coalition was reformed. What happened was Obama finally realized he had screwed up big time and rejoined the group
There are rebels not AQ or ISIS, in spite of what the FR dogma says otherwise
Utterly freaking depraved. America buying eastern block leftover arms, to flood the middle east with.
Meanwhile the USS Olympia is at risk for being sunk as a reef for want of 20 million worth of dry docking. But we have hundreds of millions for the dune coons to shoot at each other with. Hell, we don’t even mind funding both sides.

Hey, no fair using arithmetic logic.
Regardless, if the rebels win they will institute a sharia-compliant islamic dictatorship. Assad is no angel, but he is far better than the alternative.
Muslims can only be governed by mass-murdering secular strongmen. The only other alternative is extermination.
The rebels are all Sunni jihadis that want to establish a sunni theocracy. 100% of them are bad.
The only Americans who think otherwise are the ones horny for another war.
It is their land to reconquer and deal with as their wish.
It is not my nor your right or place to make them bend to your will.
Yep. McCain was eyeball deep in that,
