The Syrian rebels are al Qaeda, who bombed the Pentagon.

IF THEY HAD bombed the Capitol as well as NY and PA, too,
America would have woken up, and NOT armed al Qaeda.

But not in this Universe where an Islamic terroristophile
was made an undocumented pRes_ _ent to help Islamic
terror WORLDWIDE.

But if we will only let them, they will heal the entire planet of global climate change!

The mind boggles.

How about one that blows up in their face the second they pull the trigger?

My thoughts, too.

No, no, and NO.

It’s been proven over and over again that the majority of these rebel groups are blood-thirsty murderers. What does this accomplish?

How about writing a message in Arabic on the side of each missle: “If you are a muslim, push this button”. Place the self destruct button next to the Arabic message.

We have such devices.

Early mines, like in SE Asia and Egypt and the Sinai, those were old mines that did not have such timing devices.

We lay down a minefield and we tell everyone where it is.

Meant to shape the battlefield.

The enemy, however, has no interest in timing devices and does not publish locations.

>>Defense industry profits aren’t high enough?

Who created and armed ISIS (and their opponents) again?

And how do the folks Trump Campaign Insider [Nixon Dirty Trickster] Roger Stone wrote about fit into the context of that little empire?

Hmmm.

Sometimes I get the idea somebody forgot about that whole “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS governments are instituted among men” thing.... and turned the whole Cluster Frack into a L.I.F.E.R. cash cow.

FYI:

President Eisenhower’s 1961 (often taken out of context) “military industrial complex” speech contributes to an enduring negative view of the defense industry. Indeed, President Eisenhower’s speech is cited as a warning about the defense industry and its growing influence among the “councils of government.” However, in context, President Eisenhower acknowledged the need for a robust defense industry. President Eisenhower called on informed citizenry and politicos to “recognize the imperative need for this development.” (The “development” referred to a healthy defense industry). Consequently, far from condemning the defense industry, he was recognizing its vital role in advancing US political, economic and military goals.

Evidently Eisenhower knew the difference between a "robust defense industry" required to SECURE THESE RIGHTS - and the L.I.F.E.R. cash cow folks like those written about Roger Stone have been suckling from the teats of.
