The president says that he is "under no illusions" about the situation in Syria, where government forces and rebel groups have clashed for two years.
But he says Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime continues to weaken and will eventually come to an end.

Time for T!!!
I suppose that is Obammie-the-Commie speak for Al Qaeda.
I further suppose that with the Benghazi gun-running operations shut down, Obammie-the-Commie needs to find another way to arm America’s enemies in Syria.
So he’s going to give them the cash to let them make their own purchases.
Our border control needs to be tightened enough so that we never let someone like Obammie-the-Commie’s drunk, abusive, deadbeat, father in this country, even to visit.
First gas them, then send them aid.
That Obama what a guy.
this is why we should not raise the debit ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did the mods just pull the thread on Obama setting up the jihadis to use chemical weapons and blame it on Assad and the Russians? It came from a legitimate source (a well known British paper).
Strange.
I speculate that Obama chose not to follow through with his threat to attack Assad's forces in Syria because the nation's attention was being focused on Sandy Hook and gun control, and the Administration didn't want to give up any perceived momentum for this effort.
Just my humble (and probably wrong) opinion.
I don’t know why the mods would pull that thread. I remember thinking Obama was planning a false flag event when this was going on back in December. The Administration kept “warning” that Assad was going to use chemical weapons against his people. Weren’t there reports out of Syria in December that chemical weapons had been used by someone on the people? some form of nerve gas? It was strange that the report never really went anywhere, especially since Obama had drawn his red line in the sand.

Thank God they aren’t wasting it on unemployment extensions for Americans who would just pay bills and spend it here.
How the heck does one give aid to “the Syrian people?” There is a government in Syria, and there are rebels and/or terrorists. Who is actually going to get the money is NOT the “the Syrian people.”
Who gives a crap about the Syrian people. 155 million dollars could be used to pay down the debt for a couple days. I am sick of giving other countries money when we face the debt we do. This is like a family with 50 thousand dollars in debt giving 5 thousand dollars to a neighbor to spend. It just does not make sense.
I see this morning that a version of the article has reappeared in one of the blogs posted here (reaganite republican). It’s worth reading. At the time, I too remember thinking he was trying to stage a false flag attack.
