May make Obamacare seem successful and well thought out, by comparison, if that's at all possible.

More cash for clunkers.

McCain: I’ve Vetted Syrian Rebels, People Not Trusting Them Making ‘Excuses’

by Josh Feldman | 12:51 pm, September 13th, 2014 video 115

One concern about President Obama‘s counterterrorism strategy against ISIS is the plan to arm moderate Syrian rebels to fight the terrorist group. Arming moderate rebels was a contentious debate last year in the national fight over how to deal with President Bashar al-Assad, but now a new enemy is inspiring the calls for action. John McCain, in one of his rare TV appearances, said on Fox News today that anyone saying they mistrust the Free Syrian Army is just making excuses for not taking action against ISIS.

McCain touted that he’s “vetted a number of them because I know them.” It was at that point Fox aired the infamous photo from last year of McCain and a few Syrian rebels, two of which turned out to be suspected kidnappers. This led to Rand Paul taking a shot at McCain and illustrating this as an example of why it’s hard to properly vet Syrian rebels.


McCain said today, “Hundreds and even thousands of them have been killed and slaughtered with these barrel bombs and tortured to death by Bashar Assad. They can be trusted. There are groups of them to be trusted.”

And for people not swayed by that argument, McCain threw this out: you got anything better?


“Obviously, there are some risks, but what’s our other option here? If someone who says they can’t––they don’t want to do it because we can’t trust the Free Syrian Army, then what is your option, sir and ma’am, in how we are going to attack ISIS in an effective fashion?”

Looks to me like both the Community Organizer and old BOOM BOOM EVERYONE EVERYWHERE are on the same page for logic! :shock:

Leaving me again to believe that Andy may understand this situation much better than any of the old grey hairs in D.C.... :wink:

As far as this ISIS mission goes, I feel that as soon as we figure out who we're fighting, who we're helping, who's helping us, and how to tell one from the other, we're golden.

Who gives a phuck what you think? You voted for him. Your thoughts are irrelevant.

there are options... but arming the so called moderate groups is NOT a good idea ...



Following various clashes, the Islamic Front and the Syrian Revolutionaries Front have agreed to reconcile.[12] The coalition is spearheaded by Jamal Maarouf, head of the Syria Martyrs Brigade, a member of the SRF based in Jabal al-Zawiya, Idlib.

Affiliated groups

Idlib Military Council
Syrian Martyrs' Brigade
Ahrar al-Zawia Brigades
Ansar Brigades
Coming Victory Brigades
Seventh Division
Ninth Division of Aleppo
Farouq al-Shamal Battalions
Ghab Wolves Brigade
Idlib Martyrs' Brigade
Ahrar al-Shamal Brigade
Riyad al-Salehin Battalions of Damascus
Farouq Battalions of Hama
Special Assignments Regiment of Damascus[2]
Omari Brigades[14]

if someone wants to see all the groups as of today..

I think arming any one of them would be a mistake..

instead push for a political solution with the Sunnis' we worked with before we left.. and support three separate states..

" what the administration is planning now is basically a new version of what happened back in 2006 and 2007."
