This report neglects to mention the thousands of former members of the "moderate" Free Syrian Army who have defected to ISIS. For example, the Dawud Brigade which defected last June.

McCain will say that by not supporting the FSA with more stuff, we drove them into the arms of ISIL. Basically, if we don't give them everything they want, they will make a pact with the devil, and it will have been our fault. This kind of begs the question - why would we want to bankroll the kind of people who would make a deal with the devil? Assad isn't Hitler - he doesn't rule the world's #2 industrial power. In fact, I'd argue that ISIL, while not Hitler in terms of industrial capability, is somewhat closer to Nazism, ideologically, than Assad will ever be. If there's an alliance to be made it's with Assad against ISIL.

We have given weapons to these “Syrian rebels!”

THEY WERE not FREEdom fighters against just Assad-
their name was Evil- Isis-Itil- you name it-

Dip____ Mclame and others voted to give them American weapons- !!- now they are attacking not only our allies
But any other government or religion they do not like-

If I Barack Hussein O’bummer- I would go play Golf-!!

You have the American Communist Congress doing your bidding!
