I want someone in the media to ask this question of Obama:

"Mr. Obama, who are the Syrian Rebels? What groups make up these rebels?"

When Obama refuses to respond, tell him:

"The Syrian Rebels are made up of the muslim brotherhood, and al-Qaeda, sponsored and recruited by the muslim brotherhood to fight Bashir al-Assad. Mr. Obama - are you seriously proposing to arm al-Qaeda in Syria to fight against Bashir al-Assad?"

Because that's the reality: Obama wants to arm al-Qaeda in Syria to fight Assad. al-Qaeda is a declared ENEMY of the United States of America and is in fact, on the United States Terrorist Group list. Their leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri is on the United States Most Wanted List.

Therefore, Obama is actively an ACT OF TREASON against the People of the United States of America by ARMING, TRAINING and SUPPORTING the very terrorist organization that killed almost 3,000 people on Sept. 11th, 2001.

Why in the HELL isn't this Congress drafting up Articles of Impeachment against Obama at this very moment for TREASON against the United States of America?

Obama thinks Snowden's a traitor? Seriously, LOOK IN THE MIRROR Obama! You're Traitor #1.

I do not understand why I do not yet hear other Conservatives or Constitutionalists asking this same question: Why isn't Congress IMPEACHING and REMOVING Barack Hussein Obama from office for committing an act of TREASON by backing al-Qaeda in Syria?

HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a very good point. Apart from treason, it is also in general illegal to provide material support to a terrorist group. It would seem that supplying arms and ammunition would fit the definition of 18 USC 2339B : "(a) Prohibited Activities.—

(1) Unlawful conduct.— Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).

And needless to say this same law should apply to everyone involved, but it doesn't:

"(j) Exception.— No person may be prosecuted under this section in connection with the term “personnel”, “training”, or “expert advice or assistance” if the provision of that material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization was approved by the Secretary of State with the concurrence of the Attorney General. The Secretary of State may not approve the provision of any material support that may be used to carry out terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B)(iii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act)."

So apparently if Secretary Kerry says its OK, then you can provide expert training and support. But the guys you train and arm can't be given any material support "that may be used to carry out terrorist activity." No doubt the Islamic foreign fighters in Syria will carefully follow that rule.
