US and European officials are reporting that US weapons flowing into Syria via Jordan are part of a program secretly approved by the US Congress in a “closed door vote.”
Officially, the US halted aid to the rebels quite some time ago after some shipments of tents to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) were seized by the Islamic Front, along with the warehouses.
That official “aid” program was going through Turkey, and a much bigger arms-based plan is going through Jordan, with funding authorized through the end of the fiscal year.
The White House offered no comment on the arms shipments, but continued with the narrative of the halted Turkish program, saying they hope to resume shipments soon but have “no announcements at this time.”
So what’s the purpose of the Geneva 2 talks…?
I am continually amazed at how stupid the USG thinks the American people are.
USG does not need to think the masses to be stupid. THEY ACTUALLY ARE STUPID.This was done by design by the politicians over many generations. Why else would the masses fall for the same dirty ploys over and over again (Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya etc). In fact, 76% of Americans want Congress to have the final say in the negotiated deal with Iran as they don't trust that country but trust their own congress that has the lowest approval rating in recent history (if not ever).
