Yesterday’s big report was that much of the weaponry that ISIS is using, both small arms and anti-tank missiles, were actually provided by the US, for the “moderate” Syrian rebels.
It wasn’t a big surprise that this was going to happen, though the White House tried to spin this as vindication for their decision not to send even more weapons to the rebels, because they had to be super careful to avoid the arms falling into ISIS hands. Which they did anyway.
But they did manage to avoid making matters much, much worse, an oversight that President Obama is seeking to correct with today’s announcement that he’s going to push Congress to dramatically increase funding for the arms for the Syrian rebels.
With US arms sent to Syria and US vehicles stolen from Mosul the bulk of the ISIS arsenal, the Obama Administration now believes that the solution to the ISIS problem would be to throw even more arms at Syrian rebels, and even more vehicles to Iraq, doubling down on that problem.
Its the broken window fallacy. It provides purpose and jobs for the Empire. War profiteers win, ISIS wins, the imperial class wins, and everyone else loses.
And the ring-leaders in Congress continue to insist that there actually are “moderate” Syrian rebels. DiFi was beside herself the other day trying to defend Obama's plan to fund and arm the "moderates" declaring it was something that should have been done a long time ago, ignoring the fact that much of what was previously provided to the rebels (and Iraqi Army, btw) are as stated above, now in the hands of ISIS.
All we heard for 8 yrs get out ,get out .No business there . So i guess this is a just war because Obama starts it
more first class thinking from OB the idiot in chief
Such an Asshole!!!
