Anti-regime activists say jihadist fighters linked to al-Qaeda fought with rebels to capture a Syrian military air defense base near Aleppo.

Videos posted online Friday apparently shot inside the base say Jabhat al-Nusra participated in the overnight battle for the base. The videos show fighters inspecting lines of large missiles.

The base's capture is sure to fuel fears that Islamic extremists are playing a greater role after nearly 19 months of unrest in Syria.

Heh.....ya think?

What could possibly go wrong here?

But it's ok.

bin Laden is dead, and GM is alive.

Another Clinton/Obama foreign policy victory!

Obama inherited a very stable world with fundamental economic instabilities.

Romney will get a double dose of instability. He better be ready. Foreign policy will be a massive challenge. Including Islamist violence on our own shores.

The degree to which 0bama has COMPLETELY SABOTAGED U.S. FOREIGN POLICY cannot be understated here. As if sabotaging us domestically with insurmountable debt wasn't enough. "There went the neighborhood".

Sam base captured. Can't understand a word they are saying but the marching song is kind of funky. Missiles are stored in the open apparently without maintenance.

Time to wag the big dog

War is imminent - I see Syria as the ticket to attack Iran. Israel and the U.S. know exactly what they are doing. It is more about what Obama does than says.

The military has been moved into place over the last few months.

Syria and Iran are about the face a bigger war.

Okay let me get this straight...
The attack on the US Consolate in Lbya was a Protest.
Wait it was a Protest about the Anti-Muslim Video.
Wait the Ambassador didn’t request more Security!
Wait Security was requested but the State Dept. denied it. Wait! the State Dept. never denied the requst it was the CIA’s fault.
Wait! if it wouldn’t have been Romney/Ryan talking about it this wouldn’t be...even newsworthy.
Oh Wait! the President and I weren’t told about the request for more Security (but yet Obama could say it was the Video when he was at the UN).
Wait! Joe Biden was just misinformed.
It kind kind of makes your had spin a little don’t it!
I know there are a lot of Fox naysayers out there but I have never heard so many lies since this all happened but here somethng that is true.
Is this smart to have our kids seeing this BS being spewed out by the Lamestream Media who supports our Empty Chair in Chief.
Here’s a news flash for you all IT WAS A FREAKING TERRORIST ATTACK on (Embassies/Consulates are considered) US Soil

Panetta says chemical WMDs in Syria are unaccounted for. That’s why US military advisers that were just rushed to Jordan have chemical protection gear available.

‘_________Islamists violence on our own shores.’

Have been waiting for Romney to be asked the Islam/Muslim problem.

His answer will tell me who he is.
