Well it didn't take long.....The Rebels are out criticizing the Air Strikes. The very same ones that Kerry said we were going to train. The others still want the pressure on Assad. How do you think this affects things going forward with the money BO wants to give to these MB Backed Sunni Rebels?


A Syrian rebel group that has reportedly received weapons from the United States criticised air strikes Tuesday by a US-led coalition against jihadists in the war-torn country. The Hazm Movement, in a statement posted on their Twitter account, said the strikes would undermine the armed opposition and benefit President Bashar al-Assad's regime. They described the strikes as "an attack on national sovereignty that undermines the Syrian revolution".

The Hazm Movement is among a small number of rebel groups reported to have received US weapons earlier this year, and was among those cited by US Secretary of State John Kerry last week as likely to receive US arms and training in coming months. Syria's opposition National Coalition, a key political grouping, welcomed the US-led strikes on Tuesday, but also urged the international community to keep up pressure on Assad.....snip~

Perhaps if the moderates in the FSA wish to improve their lot they should help expel ISIS, then. They screwed up when they allowed all of the power to go to the most extreme side.

As for the US, we look out for our interests first, and if they dont like it they can pound sand. Good thing sand is plentiful in Syria.
 
We should have learned after the mujahimorons not to back rebels and do things our self.

Some of them have already made a pact not to attack ISIS.....later others came out denying it. But then that didn't count the 29 Opposition groups and Civilian committees that Pledged to al Nusra and against the US.

tragically, ISIS will probably kill many of these people as well.

Yeah....they were already wiping out one whole tribe of them. But these were the rebels that Kerry was talking about going to Saudi Arabia to train. Now they are up talking about the Sovereignty of Syria.

These are also the people that McCain and Graham wanted to arm two years ago.
 
I wish we didn't need oil.

Well.....I doubt you will see them pull back any funding. But we should.....then hand the Saud, Qatar and the UAE the Bill for all we blew off.

Starting wars against ISIS, al-Qaeda, and any other terrorist group is like treating the symptom rather than the cause.

People say you can't have a war or terror but you can. Find out who finances it and boom, boom, out go the lights.

That's all they understand.

Sure, the democratic party isn't infallible even in the eyes of liberals like myself.

Libs that don't know their history spent a lot of time after 9-11-01 accusing Reagan of arming the Mujahideen not knowing it was a liberal who was actually behind it.

Though liberal on domestic issues, Wilson was a foreign policy hawk. Being a Democrat does not equate to being a liberal. Nice try.

And for what it's worth, the Mujahideen and the Taliban are hardly equivalent.

Charlie was a patriot, he was a JFK liberal.

Not all real liberals fled the Democrat party during the 1970's when the radical left aka "New Left" came under the Democrat tent.

It would be a basic requirement.....one would think. Of course 3 of them that do all that funding are Nation States. In which they buy loads and loads of weapons off of us. Whom we say are allies and assists us.

I'm not surprised. The sectarian factions have been anything but reliable. This includes the so-called moderate Free Syrian Army. Those factions are a big part of the problem that plagues contemporary Syria and have contributed greatly to that country's enormous loss of life. Their actions have also aided the rise of ISIS on account of the power vacuums they've created, arms leakages that have been an ongoing problem, and their own shifting alliances.
