Not Good: Congress Lifts Hurdles On Obama’s Plan To Arm Syrian Rebels, Paves Way For Weapons Shipments To Begin…
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama should be able to go ahead with a plan to arm the Syrian rebels after some congressional concerns were eased, the chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said on Monday.
“We believe we are in a position that the administration can move forward,” Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican, told Reuters.
Both Republicans and Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees had expressed worries about whether the administration’s plan would succeed, delaying weapons deliveries to the Syrian opposition.
The White House announced in June that it would offer military aid to vetted groups of Syrian rebels after two years of balking at directly sending arms to the opposition in the civil war.
But lawmakers held up the project, complaining that the plan might not tip the balance in Syria in favor of forces fighting President Bashar al-Assad, and that weapons could end up in the hands of Islamist militants.
Now, just to make sure i understand, are these the same Syrian "rebels" that cut out and ate the heart from another Syrian on camera, that support and may belong to Al Qaida and their ilk, who recently used poison gas (sarin?) to kill civilians, and who create and foment chaos in the region? Those guys?
Was there ever any doubt about this? Any time we sell or even give arms to people in another nation that equates to union jobs in congressional districts,and campaign contributions from the manufacturers that profit from war going to the congressmen that voted to supply the weapons.
