Obama can find $100 million for this, but he can’t find money for social security increases...he’s fighting for our seniors.

I dont know what the syrian opposition looks like but I know what a homeless veteran looks like.

“The Obama administration set a goal in 2009 of ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015”

Gawd you’re probably right. It’s a two- fer for O. Render USA even more week and vulnerable while giving even more $$ to his islamonazi murder gangs. A masterful stroke of ( evil) genius

1950s - 1970s:
Soviet proxies destabilize and overthrow legitimate governments.
US armed forces defend legitimate governments from Soviet proxies.

2010s:
American proxies destabilize and overthrow legitimate governments.
Russian armed forces defend legitimate governments from American proxies.

It is hard to believe that we Americans have become the outlaws and now Russia -- Russia! -- has become the defender of legitimate governments and of oppressed Christians. For this old Cold Warrior, it's a world turned upside down.

Your red scarf matches your eyes,
You close your cover before striking,
Your papa’s got the muleskinner blues,
Your love has made me bananas.

At the same time Moochelle is going to the M.E. as part of a pseudo troop show. I wonder what messages she is really carrying and to whom? That by the way, for the less invested in foreign political shenanigans, is how its done. The results of that trip will surface in a few weeks.

It’s a lot like Viet Nam. Except this time the Russians are on the right side.

All middle eastern countries only work well under a dictatorship.

Haven’t we been told, especially during congressional elections, that the house controls the purse? /s

Well, uh...how many elements of his plan to destroy America would you like me to list?

How old are you?

I wouldn't want you to run out of time.

If the “opposition” somehow defeats Assad, ISIS would defeat the “opposition” within a couple of weeks.

ISIS and the 'opposition' (Obama's freedom fighters) are two fingers on the same muzlim brotherhood hand...What Obama gives to the freedom fighters goes to ISIS...

But no matter how you look at it, ISIS as well as this 'opposition' will kill Americans in a heartbeat...They are terrorists...Obama is supporting anti-American terrorists with American tax dollars...

You have no idea how difficult it is for me to deal with this fact. I agonize over how to convince military and retired military that they will get the same treatment as Ambassador Stevens and the American Military that stood with him, at the hands of Obama and Clinton.

Only a $100 million, after, all the success we had with a half billion dollars.

There's only one "moderate" "rebel" left, the rest went to Germany.
