According to Syrian Truth's Facebook page, the below photo is of a toddler living in the Deir ez-Zor Governate in eastern Syria, bordering Iraq.
She was tied up in chains by members of the U.S.-supported "Free Syrian Army" — which is dominated by foreign, Sunni jihadis — and made to watch as her mother and father were killed for being Shia.
Here is how the Obama administration is using your tax dollars — mockingly in the name of "freedom."
Yes, just a huge train wreck.
With no clear hero to back, and no wherewithal or will to colonize, Sarah Palin’s suggestion just to let them feud unmolested seems as good as anything.
What puzzles me though is why there isn’t even a fig leaf of a peace process here. Who says a rescuing party has to back one side in a feud. Why not both sides, but for peace. If their ideology will yield, and it might not, but one doesn’t know for sure till one tries.
