I dont claim to be an expert at anything...but is this a great plan?
Stated plan...First we will arm the Syrian Rebels to overthrow Assad... But only the 'moderate ones'....wth is a moderate Jihadi?
Remember...the ones Obama, Kerry and even McCain wanted to arm to overthrow Assad?...Same guys who did a photo op with McCain and then had the video cutting open a guys chest, ripping out his heart and taking a bite out of it?
Arm these people...And create a power vacuum again...same thing we did in Afghanistan when we pulled out in the 80s and in Iraq when we pulled out...*hoping* they'd defend themselves...seen the mass murder videos of Iraqi troops....who dropped the weapons and equipment we GAVE them just to slaughtered like animals...????WTH?
Arm these people, and then send in ground troops if arming them fails?...Go basically fight the same damn people we'll be arming...?...WTH?
Wouldn't this be the same people we HELPED overthrow Libya and Egypt? Islamic fundamentalists...aka Muslim Brotherhood..... (Egypt threw their asses out wisely...AGAINST our wishes...Saudis PAY these people to not cause unrest in their country btw...Remember most of the 911 gang were Saudis...and lets not forget Benghazi and Extortion 17...?
Call it Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Syrian Rebels, Hammas...and who knows how many other names...which are all the same...and all of them call for the overthrow of Israel...who will, if necessary nuke that whole region...twice...
...all while Congress cuts military spending with a samurai sword...But the Countries tax revenues set new records every month...?
And NOW sending 3000 (that's just the start) US troops to combat the Ebola epidemic?....
FUBAR.....
