Obama To Authorize Weapons Training Of Syrian "Rebels"
This will end well. President Obama is, according to WSJ, close to authorizing the US military to train "moderate" Syrian rebels. The move - clearly expanding Washington's role in the conflict and a subtle side-swipe at Putin - is aimed at providing a seemingly arbitrary group of rebels with weapons training to fight against both Bashar al-Assad's regime's army as well as Al-Qaeda-linked groups. One quick question - how will Obama determine who is 'moderate' and who is full Al-Qaeda-tard?
A new military training program, if implemented, would supplement a small train-and-equip program led by the Central Intelligence Agency which Mr. Obama authorized a year ago.
U.S. officials said the new military program would represent a significant expansion of Washington's public efforts. U.S. officials don't discuss the CIA's limited training program because it is covert.
Only supporting the moderates - not the real crazies?
"The president will make clear his intention to expand our support to the moderate Syrian operation and increase our support to Syria's neighbors, who are dealing with the terrorist threats emanating from the situation Assad has created in Syria," a senior administration official said.
The proposed military training mission has been the subject of a nearly yearlong Obama administration debate pitting top American diplomats seeking leverage to pressure Mr. Assad against Pentagon leaders wary of open-ended commitments that risk deepening U.S. involvement in another messy Middle Eastern conflict.
Defense officials said it was unclear when training, which would be undertaken by U.S. special-operations forces, would get under way, citing obstacles that include how the Pentagon will vet prospective rebels for the program.
We are sure they will figure it out?
And here comes the Middle East pressure...
The move toward deeper U.S. involvement reflects a growing realization within the White House that more needs to be done to build up the capabilities of a proxy force inside Syria capable of challenging al Qaeda. Washington increasingly fears al Qaeda's network of foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq will become capable of threatening U.S. allies in the region, including Jordan.
The move also comes in response to mounting pressure on the White House from Middle Eastern allies who say Mr. Obama's reluctance to support moderate fighters has allowed al Qaeda-linked groups to now dominate the opposition.
...
The Western-backed Free Syrian Army has been fighting a two-front war, against Mr. Assad and his allies on one side, and against al Qaeda and its allies on the other, but commanders say they have received scant support from the U.S.
During his visit, Mr. Jarba met with Mr. Obama and top officials at the White House and the State Department. Mr. Jarba also requested a meeting with Mr. Hagel, but a senior defense official said the Pentagon chief's schedule at the time was booked. "There was not a concerted effort not to meet with him," the senior defense official said. "It was a scheduling thing."
But...
Administration lawyers have raised other legal concerns about the proposed military program, holding up its final approval, officials said.
And...
Jordanian officials have privately told their American counterparts that they are worried a large overt training program on their territory could prompt the Assad regime or al Qaeda to retaliate against the Hashemite Kingdom.
This has always worked so well in the past and we are sure this administration will execute flawlessly. One quick question... will "Hijacking airplanes for disgruntled Al Qaeda operatives 101", pardon, Syrian rebels, be on the curriculum?

I think the NSA already has a list for that.

If libtards had a brain, they would ask themselves how they got tricked into voting for Bush in 2008 and 2012. Good thing the State does the thinking for them.
Thirteen years and now the longest war in American history...the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan...supposedly because Afghanistan was allowing the military training of these exact same terrorists?
Please ignore that the 9/11 planes were allegedly taken over by Saudi Arabians, not Afghanis.
Now we can understand even better why the dancing Israelis were dancing on 9/11.

remember when aiding and abetting terrorists was a federal crime? treason? wiring money to someone in Iran could get you years in prison? yeah, for the little people... not an issue if the United States goverment terrorizes the entire planet... that's just democrazy.
Oceania has always been at war with Al Qaeda Syria.
and increase our support to Syria's neighbors, who are dealing with the terrorist threats emanating from the situation Assad has created in Syria,
ZATO's lies are so think and all-encompassing I'm actually beginning to wonder if there's some smidgen of truth to the whole holocaust=bullshit meme. The players involved just seem unable to tell the truth about anything.
Well someone has to show them how to use all the weapons we just sent them. Duh.
Beat me to it. Hillary and Obama didn't send ship loads of arms from Benghazi to Syria 9via Turkey) for no good reason.
Those nice fellows in Syria need to learn how to use those anti-aircraft missiles. We also need to allow them to travel to Mexico for the then safe passage across the border where they will get picked up by the cops in Texas only to be released with their weapons in tow.
One might think the Houston or DFW airports would be a good and easy starting point. Maybe Jerry Jones will sell them a suite so that they can fire right from the stadium and it can be broadcast on the 80yd long HD screen?
it worked out well when we trained the mushahadeen.
obama is a silly muslim
What do you call a turd in a suit? Mr. President.
Just watch what happens if it is even suspected that Putin is providing some form of weapons training to the democractic resistance in Ukraine. It will be front page news with condemnations from Heinz "57 Varieties of Truth" Kerry to the Chief Teleprompter and all the EU stooogeswith full MSM front page coverage.
Putin does it -- BAD. Very BAD
USSA does exactly the sme thing in Syria, Iraq, Lybia, Ukraine, Phillipines, and a dozen other places -- GOOD
Chomsky has repeatedly said that crimes committed by us are never crimes at all.
Assad and Qaddaffi became international pariahs when a substantial number of the population decided to no longer support and then actively worked to topple the regime. Assad and Qaddaffi then predictably began to attack these "terrorists" with the military forces.
Now, in the Ukraine, you have the same thing. You have regions that just don't want to be part of the corrupt Kiev game anymore. Theyve had enough and looking to get out from under the thumb of Kiev. Kiev's reaction? The same as Assad and Qaddaffi. Instantly label *ALL* opposition as terrorists. The only difference is that, unlike Qaddaffi, Kiev has managed to use it's air force planes in attacking "terrorists".
Dont forget the ukrainian weapons going to germany for modification and then to syria.
Oceania has always been at war with Vietnam, Cuba, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Grenanda, Angola, Lybia, iran, Panama, Oersian Gulf, Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Afhanistan, Iraq, Liberia, North-West Pakistan, Yemen, Ukraine, Al Qaeda, Syria.
Just participate in any effort to improve the lives of Arab people living under Israeli control, or Somali people living in Warlordistan, and you'll find out in a hurry what a federal crime is.
I can't get caught up in the excitement about the IRS being used to hassle the Tea Party groups because my parents were active in opposition to the Viet Nam War, and they got audited every year. Plus our phone always crackled and popped and sometimes wouldn't hang up, and for a time there were cars parked in front of our house whose well-dressed occupants never got out until they drove off. And my parents were obscure college types; not even mouthy or visible. So yeah, the IRS still gets used to hassle political opponents.
And there are some funny videos on YouTube of people who have never even gotten a traffic ticket but were spotted in pro-Palestinian rallies, videotaping the Federal agents who came to their home to vaguely intimidate them.
"And there are some funny videos on YouTube of people who have never even gotten a traffic ticket but were spotted in pro-Palestinian rallies, videotaping the Federal agents who came to their home to vaguely intimidate them."
Try attending a David Irving talk. 10 years ago JDL/ADL/SPLC/MOSSAD/WTF-types were in the parking lot writing down the license plate number of attendees. More recently the same cast of filth simply photographed them. Wonder why they wanted to know the identities of folks who are interested in hearing non-MSM considerations.
"Please ignore that the 9/11 planes were allegedly taken over by Saudi Arabians, not Afghanis."
"Allegedly" being the operative word here.
This short video is fascinating. I'd like to see it debunked, I really would. Maybe it's just a bad video illusion. I'm referring to the second point of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3NtaDC_ZEo
Dude. I was there . I can assure you it was way to fucking real.
Of course 9/11 was real. Israel has undisputed video evidence. The NYPD took it from the Mossad agents, for a short time, but I bet the FBI gave it back when they released them.
The NYPD took it from the Mossad agents, for a short time, but I bet the FBI gave it back when they released them.
To add to that... Anyone interested in figuring out what could have potentially been used with highly reactive thermite as a "detonator" of sorts to melt 110,000 tons of structural steel that creates an enormous cloud of pulverized dust???
While this has been bantered about for several years now, I think it becomes more of growing concern to understanding exactly what happened that day when you heard the words of our illustrious President just 2 months ago about his biggest concerns outside the U.S. starting a World War with Russia.
What a strange thing for him to say?... And doesn't it raise more than a "red flag" when he spoke those words right after Israel announced the closing of all it's embassies Worldwide due to a labor dispute?...
Dual citizen Chertoff (then Asst Atty Gen for the Justice Dept) ran the op to release and scurry the vermin back to ISR. They were emplyed by ISR citizen Domnick Suter's Urban Moving Systems whose offices nationwide were cohencidentally shut down on 9/11 and who fled to ISR.
Chertoff's consulting group (The Chertoff Group) represents both of the manufacturers of the airport full body scanners that were deployed following 9/11. Sen Lieberman (Likud-West) pushed through the contracts. Chertoff was on the jewtube's talking head shows 24/7 telling us how much we need body scanners at the airport...while cohencidentally neglecting to mention how much he (and for example Soros) stood to make from the deals.
His cousin Benjamin Chertoff authored the Popular Mechanics article "Debunking The 9/11 Lies". No bias in that title, and the article was thin on facts.
Let's not forget dual-citizen Rabbi Dov Zakheim the Pentagon Comptroller who cannnot account for a missing $3.2 TRILLION:
*"in 2001 Dov was CEO of SPS International, part of System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor majoring in electronic warfare technologies, including remote-controlled aircraft systems, and the notorious Flight Termination System (FTS) that could hijack even a hijacked plan and land or crash it wherever," Oy

Something was real.
I'm very curious about the video artifact, that's all. The wing disappears behind the building and re-emerges. Makes no sense unless doctored with.
Who filmed the video? I tried to hear the name but couldn't.
please believe eyw was dere on 911
sure you was honey
hows larry pull it silverstein you dancing moshe ; )
That vid is clearly cgi. Good stuff
CGI is indeed good stuff.
+1000 for the 'Wag the Dog' reference. The only movie to piss me off so much I couldn't stay to the end.
I was there too. That building is in the foreground. NOT behind the towers.
If it was behind the towers it would have been a very very tall building.
But notice how the left win is still blurred after emerging from behind the tower? It shouldnt do that. Disclaimer: im not a video expert
it is simply the resolution. The Building is in the foreground and the wing was obscured by it. Two planes hit those buildings. That much is certain.
Who flew them and why is an entirely different question.
He can authorize whatever he wants. It's too late, the people of the country realize the absurdity of what's going on and the craziness of those trying to topple Assad. It's over, and we're pissing more resources away to a losing battle because we can't stand the thought of getting our asses handed to us by Assad, Hezbollah, and Iran.
It appears to me the obamanites are out to destroy America in whatever ways they can. Doesn't seem to be much rhyme to it and certainly no reason involved.
Ain't just Obummer, friend.
I use the term "Obama" to indicate whichever Cabal he is operating within, sort of "Obama" sensu lato. It's also a term worth using since the "Obama" was so nicely sold to all the brain-dead allegedly anti-war left.
"asses handed to us by Assad, Hezbollah and Iran" don't forget Putin
We'll train them BETTER!
who is who?? why just have a raw human liver eating contest ---that was simple--
When is a terrorist not a terrorist?
Killing is wrong except when the government does it
Stealing and robbery are wrong except when the government does them
Training "fighters" is wrong except when the (US) government does it
Kidnapping is wrong except when the government does it
Blackmail is wrong except when the government does it
Intimidation, threats and coercion are wrong except when the government does them
What about counterfeiting and accepting bribes?
All those 'wrong' things aren't wrong; they're policy.
If those are wrong, I don't want to be right.
/s
Which group does the canibals fit into? Are they moderate or not? I am so confused.
If they only eat human muscle tissue, they're moderates; if they start cooking the brains of their enemies the State Department has declared them icky.
Damn it Jim! I am a blind monkey not an expert in canibal ickyness.
Flash forward a few years, somehow, someway, American troops are on the ground in Syria, getting shot at with the weapons we gave them.
It won't be that long.
When this gets serious, we will know, because the rules of engagement for US soldiers will be dialed back to what they were in the early 40's.
The trigger-response cycle seems to be about 20 years in most cases, which is roughly the time it takes for the kids whom we offer in the process of empire-building to grow up, nurturing revenge plans sophisticated enough to work.
It's called long term plannig.
In case of Assad - since he's an ally of Russia, Syrian campaign is more of a proxy war between our 2 nations. Think of it as olympics. The games were supposedly designed to showcase power without actually having to sacrifice soldiers in the process. Proxy wars offer a way to get people to slaughter eachother on your behalf. US feeds weapons and intelligence to Assad opposition. Russia feeds intelligence and weapons to Assad and that way we're looking at who's got the best stuff.
Add a decade or 2 and there'll be terrorist attacks in both countries for reasons quickly forgotten. US and Russia will both say that the terrorists hate their freedom and use the opportunity to reduce privacy and freedom even further. Win win for the MIC.
How will O determine who's moderate and who's Al-Qaeda? He'll read about it in the newspaper, same way he gets all his other breaking info.
The fracking CIA will tell Obama what he needs to know....and only what he needs to know.
<Plausible deniability bitches.>
Even if Obammy was told he would not know what to do. Come on, stop being so hard on our POTUS when he struggles to complete the 18 holes of golf.
Obama says he finds out about what his minions are doing from CNN, same as everybody else. Amazing that he has to hang out in the airport like everyone else, with nothing on but CNN, the airport lounge network. Maybe the POTUS really is a man of the people.
John McCain says he knows who the good guys are. And if you can't get him to tell ya, you can just look into the jihadi's soul.
and by "good" mccain means soul-less black hearted murderers... kindred spirits. all in service to their master.
"Bay of Pigs: Redux"
Reminds me of a joke I once told my dad when I was about 7 ...
Me: "Dad, what do you call your family in a pool?"
Dad: "Dunno ... what?"
Me: "the Bay Of Pigs. hahahaha!"
Dad (smiling): "Hmmm ... yeah, that is EXACTLY what I would call my family in a pool."
Again the facts are that any "moderate" organic syrian rebellion, if there ever was one has collapsed. There is a reconciliation program in Syria so most of the old FSA have been assimilated back into life as Syrians ( and many are fighting along side the army in the NDF ) and any of the low IQ low rent nihists have gone from fighting a war to being a modern day highwayman running wildcat checkpoints, kidnapping or smuggling for profit.
They use the word "FSA" when they want something from the west. Now you have the Islamic front & Al-Nusra and ISIS principly either way you have virulent fake mulsims who will kill until they find respite in death.
They better hurry up because al QUsayer fell last year, Qualamoun is gone, Homs is clean, Aleppo, Daraa and Jawbar are on fire as is deir el-zor. IGnore the odd promo piece of the rebels walking around an abandoned boneyard claiming it is a military base. The Western backed terrorists ( who are the same ones which necessitate the TSA checking your coffee in the boarding areas and making your grandmother remove her diaper ) are in collapse.
Sum total - like I have been saying for a year now. Short of direct western intervention which would start world war 3, this will wind down into a prolonged terror campaign. Congratulations West, Gulf Coast, Israel. You lost ANOTHER war, and thankfully we don't have a failed state to show for it.
Anyone there is going to be Muslim, or Arab, and there is no moderate Islam, just the original. Hardly any sane Arabs either. They can sound urbane, reasonable, articulate and so on, the western educated ones, but they usually also believe some shit that's as crazy as it is ghoulish as it is implausible. And you have a load of Iranian backed Hezbollah nutters there too. And some radicalized-in-the-west nutters. A lot of folks who know how to sound moderate enough.
Yeah, you're right, let's invade and get some boots on the ground, show them some freedumb.
There used to be a significant Christian minority in Syria. However, the AQ liver-eaters have pretty much shot down and chased off that whole lot. Same things as happened in Iraq after the US invasion, curiously enough. The Jews and the Palestinians chased the Christians out of Palestine, so I think their only region left is in the hill country in Lebanon.
Oh, and Hezbollah is against the Wahabbis and the foreign mercenaries. That's why Israel keeps bombing them.

The Irony here is syria, with its cultural mosaic and sectarian government are as close to a model for the region as there has been, and scores of moderate secular muslims can be found to this second ( the syrians, not the western backed foreigners ). You're wrong and this isn't an argument it is a statement of fact.
I won't apologize for saying that in my view HEzbollah aren't nutters either. Nasrallah is a hero as far as I'm concerned, as a canadian guy with 100% european blood. Viewed through a zionist lense which presupposes a never ending existential threat, everyone are nutters.
Hezbollah are the reason that Lebanon doesn't look like Palestine. This makes them popular with the locals and unpopular with aspiring colonizers.
Calling the rent-a-jihadis "highwayman running wildcat checkpoints, kidnapping or smuggling for profit" is pretty accurate. In Iraq and Lebanon it was gangs that were recruited by spooks and told to call themself AQ.
Why don't we just keep it really simple: America has no right to be involved on any level. It should keep its nose out of others business. Period.
you can tell which ones are Al-Qaeda by seeing who CIA gives money and weapons to
this administration has the uncanny knack of doubling-down on stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of Assad's gov't. But to support the.. essentially the more "moderate terrorists" is a huge mistake.
It's not a mistake.... they just don't give a fuck.
!
Nobody on the actual "Left" has ever supported Obama. From his days in the Illinois Legislature, Obama has been the creature of Finance, indistinguishable from Bush, Romney, McCain, or for that matter, Bill Clinton.
The thing is, the actual "Left" in the US is such a tiny and ignored minority, most people don't know they exist and think Democratic Party bandwagon-jumpers are "Left." They're not. They're basically non-ideological, like the two parties, and support a certain form of rhetoric more than anything else. For instance, both McCain and Obama promised, if elected, to appoint Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury. Counterpunch, one of the only available "Left" outlets, proclaimed how Geithner, along with Rahm Emmanuel, Hilary Clinton and Robert Gates, proved that Obama represented the exact same interests McCain did, and any differences were aesthetic. The Nation and Huffington Post, on the other hand, seemed to believe the Fox News/WorldNetDaily spin that Obama is some sort of Socialist, or even a Communist. Hell, Obama isn't even a Liberal.
So to find those on the left speaking out against Obama, you have to find the acutal left. They've been yelling about him for 7 years.
Doc: Your edit kind of wrong-footed me. To those reading, Doc's original comment asked why nobody on the "Left" was criticizing "their" war-monger-in-chief.
You've got to be kidding me. The Left totally dominates everything in the USSA today.
So, who does the true Left want in the WH?
Elizabeth Warren?
"...authorizing the US military to train "moderate" Syrian rebels."
As long as they're "moderates" I think I'm OK with this.
You know, like "moderates" shooting up our neighborhoods and preventing Americans from shopping at Target or from visiting the National Mall or Disneyland, those kind of "moderates".
Just a formal announcement of what's already happening, and has
been for six months.
Putin's counter should be interesting. If I was a Saudi royal right now, I'd be spending
more time in London.Spontaneous eruptions of oil facilities seem imminent.
I completely agree. Putin has his chess game in motion. O is playing tiddy-winks.
"It's not a mistake.... they just don't give a fuck."
Repeat after me "Oops, I just killed a million Iraqis."
After you say that a few dozen times it gets easier to swallow... a bourbon chaser helps.

http://youtu.be/cEtdw7Z04QQ
yes, they are psycopaths.
More like an attempt to keep the House of Saud happy lest they abandon the petrodollar or decide to audit their gold.
No shit. Do you think this decision was taken after the EIA report about the Monterey Shale play became public knowledge?
Monterey shale doesn't figure in, US gov long knew the numbers were BS and the sheeple are too dumb to notice. But the sheeple will notice hyperinflation, or if the weather develops mushroom clouds.
Hmm, SPF600 sunscreen, or lead blankets...time to flip a coin...
In order to get a correct definition of mistake, we first need to know their agenda. If chaos is the agenda then they are exceeding expectations.
Whatever the agenda is, it is a mistake all by itself. Consequently, every action stemming from that agenda is a mistake. Oh, they may be very malicious mistakes that mean that heads literally should be rolling, but mistakes nonetheless.
My point is, sure to us they are mistakes, but to them they are very deliberate and the blowback doesn't matter because no matter what happens it advances their agenda and enriches the MIC.
No, I got ya, but it's going to advance their agenda until it doesn't. And then there will be hell to pay, and unfortunatly, not just for them.
From memory, they're following Odet Yinon's plans pretty much to the letter. No wonder they hate Putin.
Yes, it was the delusional belief that if all the Christians were ethnically cleansed from Iraq & Syria they'd move to Lebanon and become zionists.
They used their homebrew AQ to disguise the partition of Iraq, but it didn't work in Lebanon and isn't working in Syria without an occupying army to provide direct support.
Doc, I firmly believe you are correct. Chaos is the intent. In general I won't suspect a conspiracy or a deep agenda when simple incompetence and stupidity will explain it, but when the exact same course of action is applied in so many situations over such a long time, eventually one has to deduce it's intentional. Then, baffling though that might be, one has to work backwards and try to induce what might be the intent behind what appears to be an incredibly consistent record of failure.
The creation of dumpster fires on the perimeter of China and Russia, and anywhere there are deposits of strategic resources including energy, and the transit routes for such resources, seems to be an end in and of itself. From that observation, one can infer the strategic reasoning.
Or you can just read Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" from about 25 years ago. It's all over the Web in .pdf format.
Just as well Putin & Xi haven't seen it.
Good thing US gov is a master of deception, state secrets are only entrusted to trannies and computer geeks.
Who COULD be a big Assad fan? The mere fact that you are couching your response in that fashion shows how much Barry has jumped the shark rather than your views on ME politics or relative rationality.
PS. I would accept "deep state" as a replacement for Barry in the above.
Gun bans here, gun training there. Makes sense.
AND they will register their shoulder fired missiles
Don't forget a background check on those "moderates" and please only give them magazines that do not exceed some arbitrary limits on capacity.
I'm no fan of Bush, but where are the citizens on the left to speak out against "their" warmonger?
Bantu Bush
They are, but their only avenue of publication is the FBI undercover reports. And the NSA wiretap reports, of course.
...because the first attempt to start WWIII didn't work.
Damnit, now those universal rounds are going to get expensive again.

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an article demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama knowingly lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had carried out a sarin gas attack on insurgent-held areas last August.

a. I thought we were already training them (to gas the locals).
b. moderate is such a squishy term.
My understanding as well -- training was being conducted in Jordan near the Syrian border by US special ops and CIA personnel. That was a year or two ago.
I would hazard a Shtreimel instead...
"its you" came to mind.

Lol
I actually thought big 70's Afro! I mean, come on that's something the MSM could still pedal!

More of everything!!!
We as ZH'ers have no skin in any of these fights...and I find it interesting that I see no path forward for the folks here to have any skin in this fight either.
"ZH'ers are free to travel about the world" near as I can tell.
The flip side is now complete as well. "War with Russia, China and all of Islam." This strikes me as quite ambitious.
Don't leave "War on Africa" out....
OBlamo says- Black Powder!
Hey wait a minute..... is Al-CIA-duh on our side or not? I'm so confused.
Define "our."
Empty suit is just barking orders. Using a Afro-American to finalize Central Banking project is not working according to plan. Blowback and lack of transparency has undermined the entire Presidential program.
/LOL
"...how will Obama determine who is 'moderate' and who is full Al-Qaeda-tard?"
That's easy peasy ...if they work for the CIA they're "moderate".
;-)
Wonder how much Karzai has stashed away....
As long as the CIA gets its hiring list from the Saudi Secret Service. Even if Bandar Bush has retired for health reasons, his legacy lives on.
how will Obama determine who is 'moderate' and who is full Al-Qaeda-tard?"
Computer screen, yoke, drone and a Facebook profile.
/No joking. Sick fucking people at the helm trying to organize a society for their own benefit.
You can tell a "moderate" muslim from a "radical" muslim by the koran they read. It clearly says "radical Islam version" on the cover of the latter.
These guys are already slipping back into Iraq with their new guns and gear. I just saw a video of one of them shooting a shoulder launched SAM at an Iraqi helicopter. And these dudes are ruthless killers. They set up fake police check points and execute anyone with a gov ID.
"They set up fake police check points and execute anyone with a gov ID."
Presented with no comment....
Can we set up some sort of worker exchange program?
the new definition of
-radical
patriot-
They set up fake police check points and execute anyone with a gov ID. ------
Wait, wait, wait, so all of the training that they received over a year ago was unauthorized? Color me shocked!
Oh, and:
Bait and motherfucking switch! We're fighting al Qaeda now!
It's like George Orwell meets Looney Toons. Eastasia! No, Eurasia! No Eastasia! No Eurasia! No Eurasia! No Eastasia, FIRE!
1) Check the Rebel's LinkedIn profile for "Al-Qaeda". Easy-Peazy!
2) Or they can just ask them..."are you Al-Qaeda?".."No"..."Reeaaalllyyy??"..."No"..."Ok, you're in!"
One man's rebel/freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
I would not put it beyond Obama's compendence that he will say, US trained, US armed then make them US citizens then entitle them to VA status.
"entitle them to VA status."
Yeah but there's better care in an executioner's chamber!
"One quick question - how will Obama determine who is 'moderate' and who is full Al-Qaeda-tard?"
Like Obama gives a fuck....
A 'moderate' rebel will not bomb local oil and gas pipelines.
Take a look at Libya.
There are terrorist rebels (those who aim to gain control over the oil producers).
And there are 'moderate' rebels (those who aim to install an islamic state).
Maybe Putin should start training "moderate" rebels in Eastern Ukraine? Oh yeah... he already is. No proxy war here, bitchez.
Exporting Hell again. What else is new.
Maybe the people that have Obama the Noble Peace Prize will now nominate him for a lifetime achievement award... I think something like Mt. Rushmore would be appropraite...the face of Obama chissled on a mountain cliff along with Ghandi and other notables... Maybe a special mention about him stopping the proliferation of atomic weapons and devleopment in the middle east... Its great how effective and strong he was in dealing with Iran... Way to go Obama... LOL
