On Monday, December 19th, Secretary Clinton will host the first meeting of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board. The Board is composed of 25 members who will meet at the Department of State periodically to discuss issues of high priority for the Secretary and the Department. It will focus on broad strategic questions and provide the Secretary and other senior Department officials with insights, perspectives, and ideas. Secretary Clinton will meet with the Board several times during the duration of her tenure.
Secretary Clinton selected a distinguished, diverse, and bipartisan membership with a wide range of expertise and background, including past government service, academia, politics, development, and business. Strobe Talbott, President of the Brookings Institution and a former Deputy Secretary of State, will serve as the Boards Chair. He will work closely with the Secretary and her Policy Planning Director, Jake Sullivan, to coordinate the Board and its meetings.
The Boards members are listed below. Each will serve a two-year term.

So basically, near as I can tell, this is Saudi Arabia (Sunni) fighting against Iran (Shiite) in a proxy war.
As many have pointed out, US policy ought to be to do all we can so that they each bleed each other white as we did with the Iraq/Iran war in the 1980’s. OK, maybe we did give Iraq some help back then but again, maybe that was a mistake.
Instead we’re doing all we can to help the Saudi’s (Obama’s masters) under the guise of “humanitarian concerns”. McCain is probably taking orders from Obama. Him being “critical” of Obama is a bit like Code Pink being “critical”.
John “I Heart Heart Eating Rebels” McCain.
McCain is the new Jimmy Carter.
One bunch of bearded savages is as bad as another.
For a brief moment it was good to see John McCain and the word Slips in the same headline. The writer shouldn’t get people’s hopes up like that!
What a choice.
Support the Al-Qaeda backed Syrian rebels or the Iran Hezbollah government.
As has been mentioned in the past, let them fight it out and then we can go in and clear out the “winners”
That would fit fine with the WOT.
After all which ever side wins is Islamic terrorists and which ever side loses is also.
we wondered why Juan was not on Sunday talk shows...
Does he not know that he could be sodomized? (e.g. Kadaffi) or was that his mission?
Is this a photo line-up?
Which one has not had his shots?
Libya Deja Vu: Arming Syrian Rebels Likely to Usher in al Qaeda
“Rep. Peter King (R-NY) argued on CNN, “Unfortunately, to a large extent, al Qaeda elements have a lot of control within the rebel movements. My concern is that, by arming the rebels, we could be strengthening al Qaeda.” Iranian-backed militias and al Qaeda affiliates are likely infiltrating the rebel opposition, and the weapons could end up in their hands. After the U.S. intervened on behalf of insurgents in Libya in order to topple Muammar Gaddafi, al Qaeda gained a stronghold in the country, and there are now signs of al Qaeda everything, such as an al Qaeda flag flying above the central courthouse in Benghazi. “
No chance he will stay, I suppose.........
Part of me says arm both sides. Put Em in a cage and let them fight it out till one side is destroyed
Don’t worry if he gets taken prisoner. Jesse Jackson will rescue him.
Way to honor American war dead John, you pathetic piece of garbage.

Rand Paul: Senate Is Arming Al-Qaeda and Rushing to War in Syria
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3024297/posts
“During the hearings on the attack on the American mission in Benghazi, Libya, Paul brought up the possibility that the Obama administration was covering up the existence of a gun running pipeline running throughout the Middle East. “
“Regardless of Rand Pauls efforts to keep the U.S. from running headlong into an armed conflict in Syria and his accurate depiction of the duplicity of those Syrian opposition forces waiting for the shipment of weapons from the United States, the Senate is speedily moving toward awarding al-Qaeda with crates of technologically advanced U.S. weaponry. “
Bump.
Unless he had approval of the Administration he is breaking a Federal Law. Oh, I forgot...he’s a RINO and therefore almost as exempt as a full fledged Progressive. And if he had approval....why him?
