While we were sleeping, members of our elected Congress with the exception of Rand Paul (R-KY) and a few others, took it upon themselves to vote for a bill that would arm the allies of Al-Queda to the teeth in the fight against Assad and Syria.
That’s right, the same group of terrorists that we’ve been fighting against since September 11th, 2001, is now our ally. Oh yeah, and you are going to fund this excursion as well.
Paul slammed members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN).
“This is an important moment,” Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. “You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It’s an irony you cannot overcome.”
FP went onto say: The dispute centers on the issue of whether the United States could properly vet Syrian rebels so that weapons and body armor would not fall into the hands of extremist groups, such as the al Qaeda-aligned al-Nusra Front. The Pentagon’s top brass has vacillated about whether it’s logistically possible to keep track of weapons as they enter a conflict involving a complex mix of opposition groups, as the new bill would require. […]
[Sen. Bob] Corker added that not arming rebel groups such as the more moderate Free Syrian Army would ensure the dominance of the better-equipped al-Nusra Front. Paul responded, saying, “It’s impossible to know who our friends are … I know everyone here wants to do the right thing, but I think it’s a rush to war.”
To get a sense of how adamant the committee is to authorize more aggressive intervention in Syria, an amendment offered by Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) to limit the types of weapons delivered to rebels was forcefully rejected as well. “The senator from New Mexico wants to use shotguns against SCUD missiles,” McCain said dismissively.
The Democrats and RINO’s are obviously trying to protect what has already occurred to the Obama administration. After all, shall I dare say, “running guns,” to Syria is what started the Benghazi tragedy and, what Obama is trying to cover up; the truth continues to be well insulated from public knowledge. This whole scenario brings on the idiom “he who live by the sword, die by the sword” to a whole new level doesn’t it?
