While Obama desperately tries to stick to his now crushed "Nobel peace prize winner" image, by not succumbing to an all-out land war in the one nation where his progressive "pacifism" brought him fame (and according to some, the presidency), namely Iraq, the rest of militant, "interventionist" US foreign policy is rapidly starting to resemble that waged by the most brutally rabid, neo-con Republican leader. Case in point an absolute stunner reported minutes ago by the WSJ, according to which the White House has decided to provide pickup trucks equipped with mounted machine guns and radios for calling in U.S. airstrikes to some moderate Syrian rebels aided by American B-1B bombers!

that is exactly what is going on. The horrible thing is nobody is stopping them
Al-Nusra will have them bomb a Christian church. Dead Christians and a humanitarian crisis.
ISIS’s air force now.
That's why they sent their puppet Hezzbollah into Syria to support Assad.
Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t “moderate rebel” an oxymoron?
There are no moderate Syrian rebels. They are as virulently hateful as any jihadi. This is the NWO way of ridding Syria of Assad so that ISIS can take over.
More pure insanity
I have said time and again, we want to stay as far away from this conflict as possible. This conflict reminds me of the Spainish civil war of the mid to late 30’s. There were no good guys then and there are no good guys in this conflict for us. We should do everything we can to drive ISIS out of Iraq. If they stayed bottled up in Syria then we will have done our job. The only ones we should consider intervening in Syria for is if ISIS starts attacking the Kurds in Kobani or Raqqa again. Help to defend them because they are our allies. No one else can be trusted.
Zactly...
Wonder how Putin will respond?
The bombers being given were mentioned a few minutes ago on Shep Smith’s program by Katherine Herridge as she mentioned the deal with Turkey to train rebels. It was noted, but not the headline.
US Embassy: Turkey and US Sign Deal to Train and Arm Syrian Rebels

Shep’s response: And we know those will be turned against us.
(paraphrased) After Katherine left, Shep went on to give a history lesson of how we trained Iraqi’s, and the result.
Our Administration are a bunch of scumbags.
If I were running the show I would be quietly talking to Assad about what he is willing to do to save his country. One firm demand of mine would be that Hezbollah needs to be gone from Syria.
one other thing, any American found to be in Syria or Iraq and they are not on offical government business should get their passport revoked. They’re not allowed back. Any European found over there goes on our watch list and is not allowed into the U.S. Any do-gooder over there who is an American better get to an Embassay or Consulate right now, somehow prove you are over there for humanitarian reasons and get cleared to be there or come home. It’s time we start protecting the homeland. That’s the main job of the Federal Government, national security....
The Syrian rebels will be calling the shots to OUR troops in the air?
That is the way i read the article.
Barry gave Iraq, Libya, (almost Egypt), Yemen and now Syria to ISIS.. And our military is glad to help. WTF?
Where in the hell is our new sec’y of defense on this? Where are the Pentagon leaders?
Everyday -— Obama pulls something weirder and more Treasonous than the day before. And congress? CRICKETS...
