Obama and Hillary, like the McCain-Graham type GOPers (including the OP) want to arm the so-called "moderate" Syrian rebels. These "moderates" are Al Nusra front fighters, an Al Quaeda spin-off. This is what passes for moderation and democracy in the mind of liberal and neoconservative nation-builders.
Remember when McCain visited the Jabhat Al Nusra HQ in Syria?
