House Speaker John Boehner (R.,Ohio) Tuesday endorsed the Obama administration’s plan to ship arms to Syrian opposition forces battling President Bashar al-Assad.

“The effort to help the right set of rebels in Syria is in our nation’s best interest,” Mr. Boehner said in response to a reporter’s question.

I can't get a straight answer from my Senators or House Representative.

How can the US Gov't send military aid and equipment to Syrian rebels - who are known to be allied with Al Qaida - without committing treason?

This is NUTS.. the GOP-e are dead to me!!!

[tet68]

It’s not treason when THEY do it.

[freedomfiter2]

The short answer is that they can’t.

So the national scab picker we call our president is now using a power tool? I mean he was doing this illegally in Benghazi with cash and weapons being distributed from that point, but now he's just doing it in plain sight.

What an incompetent boob?

I can’t imagine ANY piece of intelligence that could tell us which side to support.

"Arabs make for terrible enemies, and even worse allies."

Napolean Boehnerpart, in his memiors.

Oh wait......Did I spell something wrong?

Any of you in Ohio that vote for this bastard again should go ahead and just join the dim party. PLEASE vote this pos out of office.

[TigersEye]

The right set of rebels.

Our gooberment is chock full of Quislings, morons and rooty toots.

We had no business in Libya... we have no business in Egypt... we have no business in Syria... we know that every time that a strongman is toppled by us in the ME... that the muzzies turn to islam and iran. We had no business in Iraq... although I thought we did at the time... we could have bought saddam and turned him towards iran. We should have attacked and killed all taliban in Afghanistan and mowed them down when they were pulling out of Kabul and running to tora bora... we should have mined all mountain passes and destroyed all of the poppy fields... and we should have put pokiston into a death grip until they puked up binny.

Civil wars are the worst kind of war and outsiders, even under the best circumstances, should think long and hard before becoming involved.

Except for an emotional tie to a Christian community that has existed there since the time of the Apostles, and in keeping the country from becoming an even greater threat to Israel, we have no interests in Syria. And both those interests would be best served by the government forces winning this war.

I understand why an Islamist like Obama would support the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaida. But the level of sheer stupidity exhibited by McCain and now Boehner is appalling. Not unexpected, but incredible nonetheless.

OBL was once the ‘right rebel’.

[VerySadAmerican]

This is another Viet Nam. We’re on one side and Russia is on the other. obama and his string pullers better hope their people win.

Thank you, freedomfiter2 and tet68, for at least attempting to answer my question, however obliquely and unsatisfactorily.

What can Americans do when their gov’t seems to be up to their necks in treason?

[freedomfiter2]

That is the question that must be answered but most people won’t even ask it.

I got thru to Hannity's call screener today. I asked if Hannity could answer a question that no elected official seems to want to touch. I asked my question. "I'll pass that along." Hannity was too busy making Royal baby announcements and Weiner jokes to consider this issue today.
