The US Treasury Department has issued a blanket exemption from Syrian sanctions for the Syrian National Coalition of Opposition and Revolution Forces (CORF), insisting the sanctions are only meant to apply to Syria’s government, not the rebels trying to unseat them.
“The Syrian government has sacrificed all legitimacy,” they insisted in a statement, saying that American citizens and companies are now free to send money to rebel fighters in the name of supporting a “peaceful Syria.”
The US government has committed to sending over $100 million in aid to the rebels, but has balked at sending arms, on concern that the al-Qaeda affiliates in the group could end up using the arms against US troops later on.
Since CORF’s leadership is overwhelmingly Islamists of the sort the Treasury Department would be jailing Americans for donating money to, it will be interesting to see if this exemption will mean an influx of money to the rebels, or if would-be donors will remain concerned that they could face punishment when the groups are no longer en vogue.
Is it tax dedectable…., and what would these rebels do with it.., buy guns from USA…, perhaps the idea coms from one of those business man/senators who is a share holder or in business selling weapons.., otherwise why would anyone in his or her "working" mind want to send money to these rebels that are destroying a nation and a country.
Please define 'Islamists'.
a regime based on the rules of Koran.., a framed ideas based on theocracy and religious understanding of the few and rules by the few.., a closed and defiant idea not letting any other social matters as freedom of speech, freedom of women, freedom of political ideas, freedom of art, freedom of cultural relations, the social psychological pressures in terms of forcing people into a mental depression by describing humans life as a tragedy, using peoples by lying and pressing them to make people as their slaves.., these are just a few social facts.., in international arena as we speak.., the islamization of the world has become a tool to divide nations based on the "devilish" idea for muslims to kill each other as they do in Syria.., while Satan himself profiting from the idea by militarizing the lands of those who are fighting the Satan influence.., Muslims brotherhood and those who support the Saudis or Qatari are used for the idea presented by the father of all zionism in USA Paul Wolfowitz.., you want to know the world.., read other then koran. Simplifying the matter.., religious is a barrier between mankind intelligent and those who refuse to provide the intelligent to themselves.
Still crazy after all those years. US was sending money to Afghan mujaheddin freedom fighters as to their proxy fighters against Soviet Union. After the war turf war among all the groups involved brought the Taliban. Of course we can not forget our freedom fighters in Al Qaeda. After all that help with Soviets they turned their attention to the leader of the infidel West in America and the West had to fight their creation – Taliban and their freedom fighters in Al Qaeda. Now the leader of the West is going to repeat all those mistakes in Syria. They simply do not understand the core issues of the conflict in Syria. They do not want to see they are going to support ideologically the same people they fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Or is it only way to feed perpetual warfare and perpetual gains of the Military Industrial Complex and their shares?
So the US government allows citizens to support some terrorists but not others?
If we lived in a free country you'd be able to send money to anybody you want to.
No Fear! Send the doe, Zionists will get it.
