INHO - Sending weapons to ANYONE in that region is iresponsible and nearly insane. The oly reason for sending these weapons is to make certain they are manufactured in the US or one of our economic colonies.

Well, it does make it easier for the terrorists to annihilate themselves.

The Russians have the other side covered so that's already taken care of. Not that they give a crap any more or less than we do....it's just a history of cash deals with the Syrian leadership for 2nd rate leftover tanks etc.

...But it's not a mistake!

You see, when you arm terrorists, there will be more terrorist attacks so more money could be spent on security, wars, spying, etc.

It all makes perfect sense!

I figured people would respond like this. Obama can't win! Right wing folks are yelling and screaming that he's being weak and not getting involved in Syria, so then he does try to get just a bit involved like this then they start complaining as well. What is he supposed to do?
