Fox News: “House approves arms, training for moderate Syrian rebels”
In an act of insanity, Congress ok’d $500 million to train and arm…’moderates’?
The important question is how one guarantees a ‘moderate’ will remain so? History is rife with lessons about arming moderates, who turn around and attack us later.
(Besides, remember last year? Syrian rebels pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.)
Reports indicate the $500 million will train 5,000 ‘moderates’, and could take a year.
BCP has a better solution…
…drone-fired Hellfire missiles. (At $100k each, we doubt it would take 5,000 of them.)
For the same amount of money the U.S. military could be dealing with ISIS/ISIL directly, effectively…and not arm and train those who could one day end up fighting us.
If Congress can’t control a ‘citizen-terrorizing’ IRS right here in the USA…..
…they certainly won’t be able to control ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels in the Middle East!
