It’s hard NOT to conclude that the whole Arab Spring thing was an elaborate conspiracy to destabilize the Middle East & flood Europe with Muslims.

Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton deliberately took down Egypt, Libya and tried to take down Syrian government, in order to give the Muslim Brotherhood more power.

Except the hard left never thinks about their actions. Did you no the State Dept has never done a review of any of their actions.

Democrats are providing weapons to people?

Impossible. They would never do that.

Well, unless they could personally make some money by doing it.

as part of a programme that continues despite the widely respected ceasefire in that country.
 
If there is a tangible "ceasefire", then the continued arming-up is prep for a new offensive. Assad and his Ruskie friends better be ready.

that is the Free Republic dogma. Originally, the “rebels’ were syrians including defecting officers and soldiers of the syrian military. their HQ was in turkey just over the border. their objective was overthrowing Assad

There was a coalition including the USA, Turkey, Jordan and the GCC arabs.

For reasons I do not know Obama abandoned the group and it pretty much fell apart and ISIS took over the attaack on Syria and Iraq. I suspect Obama had no clue to what was in process and abandoned the effort...... 2014 i think, but perhaps earlier. The effort in this thread is the result of Obama declaring the coalition was reformed. What happened was Obama finally realized he had screwed up big time and rejoined the group

There are rebels not AQ or ISIS, in spite of what the FR dogma says otherwise

Utterly freaking depraved. America buying eastern block leftover arms, to flood the middle east with.

Meanwhile the USS Olympia is at risk for being sunk as a reef for want of 20 million worth of dry docking. But we have hundreds of millions for the dune coons to shoot at each other with. Hell, we don’t even mind funding both sides.

Regardless, if the rebels win they will institute a sharia-compliant islamic dictatorship. Assad is no angel, but he is far better than the alternative.

Muslims can only be governed by mass-murdering secular strongmen. The only other alternative is extermination.

The rebels are all Sunni jihadis that want to establish a sunni theocracy. 100% of them are bad.
The only Americans who think otherwise are the ones horny for another war.
