can we get our arms back?....................
I didn’t think so......................
Arm them, train them, fund them, hand it all to ISIS. Repeat.
We have become the dark side.
I am willing to personally bop on the head every single person who is surprised by this.
The JV team is winning.
What’s the major difference between Big Foot and moderate muslims?
Big Foot has actually been spotted several times.
Dumb. Where's our intelligence about these people in the middle east? Dealing effectively with them takes as much brains as brawn. Maybe it will dawn on our intelligence that the whole Arab world is unstable, splintered with tribal factions going back thousands of years, fighting constantly against themselves and others. Your friend today could be your enemy tomorrow. It is dawning on the west that Islam underlies the whole world over there.
The U.S. would be well advised to keep to her own best interests in foreign affairs especially in the Islamic world. Leave 'em alone except those who have attacked us or imminently threaten to attack us or our interests. Use covert intelligence and "smart" tools in dealing with potentially threatening nations. I do believe in this day and age, we should have good, sharp intelligence everywhere around the world to guard and protect U.S. interests.
What about when one nation wrongfully invades another sovereign, free nation? Well, first of all, if we are doing what we should be doing on the intelligence front, we should know of such plans long before it happens. As long as we are the leading power in the free world, I believe it is our best interests to deal intelligently, justly, and decisively with nations that threaten the free sovereignty of other, weaker nations who are our friends.
The Islamic thing is different with other nations that voluntarily allow their infiltration. But I think we should help weaker nations who can't stop infiltration or invasion by militant Islamic groups like ISIS. IMO, we shouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place but once we did were definitely responsible for the results.
There are no moderates in Syria.
Arming them was foolish.
McCain and Graham are fools.
I have an idea. Why not support Assad and the troops that have been loyal to Assad and help him defeat the revolutionaries destroying that corner of the world?
“Moderates;” those with out convictions or ideals. They can swing either way.
‘Moderates’ means they sharpen the knife first before they chop off your head.
“Identify moderate Syrian rebel groups, get them out of the country, train them, equip them, and send them back into the fight.”
Because that worked so well when we tried it with Cubans about 60 years ago.
Uh, that was the PLAN ALL ALONG, GUYS.
Are they still receiving the training and weekly pay ?
We should have supported Mubarak and Daffy. We should have be supporting Assad.
Unfortunately, we’ve been infiltrated by Islamic agents.
Arm them all and let them wipe eachother out. Are there any good guys?
“Lord of War”
Simeon Weisz: I don’t think you and I are in the same business. You think I just sell guns, don’t you? I don’t. I take sides.
Yuri: But in the Iran-Iraq War, you sold guns to both sides.
Simeon Weisz: Did you ever consider that I wanted both sides to lose?
