President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad's regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would "waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction."
Those two sections prohibit sending weaponry to countries described in section 40(d): "The prohibitions contained in this section apply with respect to a country if the Secretary of State determines that the government of that country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism," Congress stated in the Arms Control Export Act.

Actually, Al Qaeda.
His, I suppose. And it will stand because no one has the courage to oppose him. And in all honesty, why should they? The few that stood were beat down be the Democrats, the Republicans , and those who referred to themselves as Conservatives.
How could that shooting have happened?
The Navy Yard was a “gun-free zone”.
So no way could have been a shooting.
Shootings in “gun-free zones” are illegal.
So can’t happen.
(this logic makes perfect sense to any Dem/Liberal/raving idiot)
The president of the United States has the authority to waive the restrictions if he “determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States.”
So, what are our national security interests - especially now that chemical weapons are being dealt with through Russia?
We need to stay out of this mess and allow Allah to continue to sort it out.
To “vetted terrorist groups” paraphrasing Rush as we vetted
The Tsarnaevs.

Ooops, I mean Vetted Rebel Groups...
One man rule
Not what America was supposed to have
So now they can continue to persecute Syrian Christians with our U.S. tax dollars.
The real question is who are the people executing his zeronesses edicts. These people must be identified as the traitors that they are.
“And what is the definition of High Treason?”
Arming AQ while all choomed up...
obama is a TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
obama is a TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPEACH LATER
He is a very sick man
In other words, Obama is willing to break every law, ignore the Constitutional prerogative given to Congress, and even public opinion to achieve his aims. Has any President in US history ever used executive orders to enforce or suspend laws and agreements by decree as Obama?
According to Syrian Truth's Facebook page, the below photo is of a toddler living in the Deir ez-Zor Governate in eastern Syria, bordering Iraq.
She was tied up in chains by members of the U.S.-supported "Free Syrian Army" — which is dominated by foreign, Sunni jihadis — and made to watch as her mother and father were killed for being Shia.
Here is how the Obama administration is using your tax dollars — mockingly in the name of "freedom."
Yes, just a huge train wreck.
With no clear hero to back, and no wherewithal or will to colonize, Sarah Palin’s suggestion just to let them feud unmolested seems as good as anything.
What puzzles me though is why there isn’t even a fig leaf of a peace process here. Who says a rescuing party has to back one side in a feud. Why not both sides, but for peace. If their ideology will yield, and it might not, but one doesn’t know for sure till one tries.
