These Americans were murdered never anticipating with their last thoughts
that America would betray them and actually arm their murderers
against Christians worldwide.

As The New American has chronicled since it was first proposed, the National Defense Authorization Act purportedly authorizes the president of the United States to deploy the armed forces to apprehend and indefinitely detain anyone suspected of providing support to terrorists. Section 1021 of the NDAA reads in relevant part:
Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C.1541 note) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.
A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
And, finally:
Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
A plain reading of Section 1021 reveals, then, that anyone who is found to have “substantially supported” al-Qaeda or associated forces can be detained by the military until the end of the War on Terror.
If the laws passed by Congress apply only to the American people and not to the president or members of Congress themselves (15 senators recently voted to arm Syrian rebels), then the United States has become an aristocracy, whose ruling class is not governed by the laws they pass.

It’s worse than a terrible nightmare.
Bashar Assad has been in power since 2000.
Except for the nuclear reactor in 2007, he's never directly provoked a serious confrontation with Israel.
No one can say where Syrian A-bombs might have ended up, but who can blame Bashar for thinking like the Iranians and the North Koreans and the now murdered Gaddafi.....
When you have “The Bomb” no one tries to kill you.
The problem with Syria began AFTER the “Arab Spring.”
After Obama publicly warned the Egyptian military to stay out of the power struggle in Cairo, after Obama signed Gaddafi's death warrant, the Islamic Brotherhood was guaranteed command of Egypt and large portions of Libya.
It was just a question of time before the The Brothers in Syria revolted - AGAIN - against the Assad family.
You know what should really worry you, Colonel?
Look at the Westerners who hate Assad.....
Obama, Reuters, BBC, AFP.
Jew haters, Israel haters, top to bottom.
Assad is a tyrant and an evil man.
But the enemy of my enemies is my friend.

Our dear friends have a son who is a Marine in Afghanistan. Has risked his LIFE for several years. Lost many good friends (some to “friendly” Taliban “local guides” who turned out to be Islamist traitors.)
It is infuriating and heartbreaking what this traitorous Islamic communist mole in the Whitehouse is doing to our country and our military. What has happened to us?
And NO ONE will stand up to him!
Well, as I have said many times....remember the military swore an OATH to the Constitution, NOT to a p_Resident hmmmm. ‘Nuf said!!!
Tell them that you are Muslim, and a distant relative of Barack Obama, and they will make it retroactive back to your birth.
