The Democrats screamed for years about the Contras, but not a peep about this? What is our national interest in doing this? How does this help Detroit?
What difference does it make?
It is not in the national interest, but it is in Obama's. Imam Obama is toppling the secular dictators in the Middle East and North Africa to assemble the Muslim dream of the Greater Caliphate which will then attack Israel.
Obama is losing this proxy war.
Obama provided MANPADS so that the Syrian Army didn’t have air superiority, but the stupid rebels stand in one area with a bunch of machine guns and Snackbar until they get blown up by tanks, mortars, or artillery.
They run into a town that the army has no presence in, say they conquered it, and then get blown up when the army rolls in.
I say keep the Snackbar slaughter going. Less idiots to face later when the Mahdi comes.
Remember watching the daily reports from Libya with imbedded reporters sending out pictures and videos of wild-eyed screaming yutes driving around and firing randomly with their Toyota mounted anti-aircraft guns? Notice you aren’t getting many pictures out of Syria?
They get to send their families here to repopulate Detroit. I thought everyone knew that.
>>Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.
If you go to liveleak.com you can see them getting worked pretty hard.
It’s a tough day at the snackbar.
How soon before those same weapons are turned on US interests??
Bingo.
One day we will have to fight those that we are now training.
But vwhy are we training them anyway. Why are we sticking our nos into Syria’s business?
We already gave Egypt to the Christian killers.
Probably keeping the MANPADS to use against infidel airplanes in infidel countries. Beyond insane.
