How “secret” is it if it is being splashed all over the internet. You have to wonder about the IQ of journalists. Then again...no you don’t.
What a secret, huh?
How nice.
Leaking from behind!
Obama has a choice between the bad, the worse and staying out and picks the side that will be a threat to the US. Obama is expanding the drive for the Greater Caliphate and will get a lot of Christians killed in Syria and Egypt, and then the transnational Islamists will move against Europe and the US.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! it’s a secret.
"He is the one we have been waiting for" - Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam
The “October surprise” is most likely an Islamist attack on US soil sponsored by Obama’s Al Queda soldiers.
Remember the “truthers”? Then remember how liberals love to project their intentions. This is just the kind of crap he would use to retain power - killing Americans means NOTHING to him.
One wonders if he will renounce his citizenship and move there. After all, if he loses, Moochele won't be proud of her country any more.
I guess it’s not a secret anymore.
It would be a secret if the fraudster in chief didn’t use it to try to bolster his tough guy image on foreign policy. Everything is about him and his reelection.
US has a very bad track record of supporting one type of terrorists over another type. Is anyone expecting any different this time around?
The best thing to do is wait it out and arm Israel.

Secretly? Seriously? This is secretly?
This Resident is such a glory hound.
Hey Mr. Resident, secretly means it takes place and we don’t know about it. You know, like all the private info about the Osama Bin Laden hit. That stuff is supposed to be top security, eyes only. Only a nine year old child would let that out. And sure enough, you did.

but you didn't hear it from me!"
If the world isn’t careful, this could happen when its least expected,
Isaiah 27:13
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”
This is garbage. This damned idiot is getting us into a war where we have no interest in helping EITHER side. And does anyone ever stop and think? As we depose and kill leaders across the middle east, that someone might want some revenge?
Obama is of course, endangering himself, but typical for this SOB, he is endangering the people in our government who are far less protected than he.
We are way out on thin ice here, november cannot come fast enough.
It’a a double secrat authorization!
And it’s your fault for trusting him, anyway!
300 word edit from my soon-to-be-nuked/frozen thread:
President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said.
...officials have said that there have been noticeable improvements in the coherence and effectiveness of Syrian rebel groups in the past few weeks ... previously characterized Assad’s opponents as a disorganized, almost chaotic, rabble.
‘NERVE CENTER’
...[A]long with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Turkey had established a secret base ... in Adana, a city in southern Turkey about 60 miles from the Syrian border, which is also home to Incirlik, a U.S. air base where U.S. military and intelligence agencies maintain a substantial presence.
NBC News reported that the Free Syrian Army had obtained nearly two dozen surface-to-air missiles, weapons that could be used against Assad’s ... aircraft. Syrian ... forces have employed such air power more extensively in recent days.
U.S. government sources said they could not confirm the MANPADs deliveries, but could not rule them out either.
... memoranda would have to be signed by Obama to authorize other specific clandestine operations to support Syrian rebels.
OVERT SUPPORT
The State Department said ... the U.S. government had set aside a total of $25 million for “non-lethal” assistance to the Syrian opposition. A U.S. official said that was mostly for communications equipment, including encrypted radios.
Some U.S. lawmakers, such as Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have criticized Obama for moving too slowly to assist the rebels and have suggested the U.S. government become directly involved in arming Assad’s opponents.
While U.S. and allied government experts believe that the Syrian rebels have been making some progress against Assad’s forces lately, most believe the conflict ... could go on for years.
This should piss off Obama’s Chinese and Russian masters.
Obviously the joint chiefs don’t mean squat, that or they’re in the tank with brother zero. Where’s Congress?
President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels...Zero's going to help 'em? Those poor rebel bastards.
Has any one noticed we have been supporting the enemy?
Why is that in the best interests of our sovereign nation?
Is "The One" bucking for another cold war with the Russians?
wake up Congress...because we voters will replace ALL of you next...
Exactly. Obama has the blood of a lot of Christians on his hands already and it’s only going to get worse.
At least he’s consistent.
What do they plan to do with Saddam Hussein’s WMDs?
Barack Obama’s entire foreign policy for the last 3.5 years has been pro-Communist imperialist, pro-Islamic imperialist.
He has sh!t on our allies countless times.
He’s a bigger crapweasel than Jimmuh Carter was.
This is just a CIA op right now. They dont get an opinion until Barry wanna use the SEALs.
Sshhh ! Its a secret!
And apparently the only reason he failed to support the Iranian uprising, is because their were not enough Christians for his Islamic brothers to kill in Iran.
With regards to Syria, it was fairly evident that the rebel uprising in Damascus was an orchestrated Tet Offensive type of campaign. Its climax was the terrorist bombing of the Syrian leadership. Assad was not killed and the Damascus uprising was squashed.
Now the Globalist Caliphate Media are crying about a possible massacre in Aleppo.
He had a different way to get the Iranian Christians/dissidents. They fled to an Iraqi town just across the border (cant’ remember the name off-hand), where they gave up their weapons in return for a promise that they would be protected by coalition and Iraqi forces from Iranian retaliation. When the US pulled out of Iraq the Iraqi forces abandoned those unarmed people. I didn’t hear whether the Iranians came in and slaughtered them, but it was the perfect setup for that very thing.
At this point any non-terrorist in these Muslim countries who actually trusts the US is nuts. We have a foreign enemy combatant in our White House and he would betray everybody he knows in order to advance his communist-Islamist agenda of destroying the US and Israel and instituting worldwide sharia.
We’re asking Afghanistanis to report their terrorist neighbors, when they’ve seen in broad daylight how the US told the terrorists when we were going to leave Iraq and then left the terrorists to take vengeance on anybody who had trusted the government of George W Bush - not knowing the US public was evil and stupid enough to betray them by putting into our own White House a puppet of the same Soros who says he wants the US to lose the war on terror.
I have always been proud of my country, but since about this time four years ago I don’t even recognize her any more. I hope and pray that Israel knows that the Lord is the only one fighting on her side at this point, and that Christians in Muslim countries know that America under Obama is no friend of freedom AT ALL.
Beware of Hosenball. He was DGI agent-of-influence Phil Agee’s co-worker before they were thrown out of England as security risks.
No way to know if he left the Left but he has access to a lot of classified information. Perhaps he is one of Obama’s propaganda conduits.
I think he still writes for Time Magazine, or was it Newsweek?
The following is my understanding. If I’m mistaken I hope somebody will correct me.
The insurgency in Iran was genuine. But Iran is already under sharia so Obama had no need or desire to change anything there.
In Syria the people rebelling are the die-hard Islamists who seek sharia. Hence, Obama’s support.
That pretty much sums it up. Another freeper on the other thread had an excellent point : that on the same day that the WH leaked that they were supplying the insurgents in Syria with missle launchers, Panetta was giving a public statement that the Syrian military needed to stay in control to secure the WMDS.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Wonderful. And if Assad is overthrown, the rebels will turn on us. But what the hell,,,as long as King Barack looks “tough.”
US: Syria military must remain intact
Washington - Government forces in Syria should be held together when President Bashar Assad is forced from power, the US defence secretary said on Monday, warning that the mistakes of the Iraq war must not be repeated.
This is one of the major problems when you try to remove someone through a third party surrogate force. You really have no control of the situation on the ground. It will be far worse then Iraq. Sure, we disbanded Saddam's forces, but we replaced them with a stronger US force. In Syria, we will replace a strong force with a weak terrorist force. So Obama/Hillary's genius plan is to keep the Syrian forces together, the same forces who had their commander killed in a terrorist bombing. Another one of the brilliant DINO plans. Expect the RINO's under Romney and his right hand man McCain, to ride to the rescue and send thousands of US troops into the breach.
Thank you for the link. It is so unbelievble and disconcerting on so many levels. It’s like one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing in this administration.
Billions more taxpayer dollars wasted arming the enemy?
And on the same day as this.....
We are giving these more weapons to kill Christians with as could be predicted. Another upcoming victory for “democracy” should really help our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Al Queda really should be armed by us, what a great idea.
It is the same as Egypt. Replace the government in Syria with an extreme Islamic one. Obama has it all planned. After Syria then it will someone else.
If The Disaster showed up dressed and armed like Rambo he still wouldn’t look “tough.”
He, at best, could look like a female weightlifter.
