Obama plots deployment of U.S. military advisers to Syria

In a move that would expand America’s involvement in Syria’s civil war, President Obama is close to authorizing the U.S. military to train moderate Syrian rebels to fight the regime of Bashar Assad and al Qaeda-linked groups, according to reports.

U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal Tuesday that the new military program would supplement a small training effort led by the CIA, which Mr. Obama authorized a year ago.

At the White House Tuesday, Mr. Obama declined to answer a reporter’s question about the U.S. sending more advisers to train the rebels.

In a commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, Mr. Obama is expected to give his backing for the new training effort by saying he intends to increase support to the armed Syrian opposition, including by providing them with training, the Journal reported.

Wow, what a coincidence. Samantha wanted UN troops on Israel's border years ago...

The compromised McCain and Graham will be beside themselves.

Obama is setting those guys up the bomb. He's sending them to Mogadishu ..... he hopes.

He might as well hang signs around their necks: "I'm an American, please kill me."

Obama advisor calls for the invasion of Israel

And now Obama wants money to train and arm unnamed people in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.

WW3 alert.

WW3 is a possible way to place blame for a total economic collapse somewhere other than at the feet of democrats.

They will be happy to rule over the rubble.

That sounds so unbelievable, that people with such a low regard for human life exist..... but just look at their religious zeal when it comes to snuffing out the lives of the unborn. Never doubt that they are monsters who are capable of anything.

“He might as well hang signs around their necks: “I’m an American, please kill me.”

Send the women and the gaylords, surely they will prove themselves.

[Bryan24]

What is the freakin upside here? This appears to be one of the stupidest things we have ever done. This is insane. We’re gonna give MILITARY TRAINING to Al Qaeda linked fighters?

This is simply STUPID.

[dforest]

Well see, he just got done announcing he was going to dial back the meddling. He always does the opposite of what he announces.

[SADMILLIE]

To fight for our enemy? TREASON!!

[BenLurkin]

Obama plots.

Period.

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.

[faithhopecharity]

“moderate Syrian rebels” ??? there’s a new group there?
or (much more likely) is this just how they’re trying to sell further aid and weapons to the same “Syrian rebels” he’s been arming and supporting all along, you know, the IslamoNazis who burn down Christian churches and crucify Christian people....

birds of a feather.... elections have consequences....
the American public voted for this (twice)

pray for (Syria and) America.
Pray for America.

[Tennessee Nana]

That’s how that other Democrat president, JFK, started Vietnam...

[ConorMacNessa]

It's not enough that he destabilized Egypt and Libya, installed the Muslim Brotherhood, an avowed Islamist terrorist organization, in power in Egypt, drew meaningless red lines in the sand, and dithered while our men at Benghazi were slaughtered?

Now, he's going to commit our forces and materiel to support the Syrian rebels, Al Qaeda surrogates, who are burning Christian Churches and routinely putting Christians to death?

He's nothing but a traitor and his administration is a carbuncle on the Body Politic.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

” .... train moderate Syrian rebels ... “

Yeah, sure. Moderate rebels? That’s another word for moderate terrorists.

If there were rebels in the USA fighting the government, do you believe our government would call them moderate?

Hussein Obama just feels like he needs to do more for his muslim brotherhood terrorist pals.

[43north]

Syrian moderate rebels. Uh-huh. And those who supported Cliven Bundy are domestic terrorists.

[silverleaf]

“moderate Syrian rebels”

indeed

the ones that aren’t focused on killing westerners
