So?

We care about it.

If it really doesn't matter, then it shouldn't bother you.
Don't forget, Obama is also arming Syrian rebels, despite our military saying finding moderate rebels is like looking for a Unicorn.

We did it under Carter, Reagan, Ford, Bush the elder, Clinton....and probably under earlier presidents as well.
Yes I agree we have been doing it for a long time. Thats why it is a more complicated issue than "librulz being too tolerant". You proved my point.

So is this what you wanted, liberals? All these deaths in France. All these crime waves hitting countries that let the "migrants" in?
Right Wing Nut Job reactionaries. The most dangerous weapon ever created by the republican party.

No, I disproved your claim that we STARTED arming countries in the middle east under Bush.

We were arming them a long time before that.

Who EVER said that?
The issue was the college kids were upset because the media coverage of Paris took the attention away from them.

And you're contributing nothing to this intelligent discussion and debate that you claim to want. Except for repeating the word "nuance" endlessly.
Also, I'm pretty sure that this person is talking about taking in refugees from the Middle East, so all this talk about the Iraq War and Bush arming terrorists and whatever is completely besides the point.
