The danger posed by the Syrian rebels
Last year, I warned that giving aid to the Syrian rebels could come back to haunt the United States and Israel, and that we shouldn’t do it.
Recently, the Washington Free Beacon reported:
One of the militant Syrian rebel groups provided access to advanced U.S. missiles said that it is seeking “the return of all Syrian land occupied by Israel,” a stance that could potentially complicate U.S. military support to the armed rebel group.
This is why I strenuously opposed the United States aid to these Syrian rebels. I warned the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of this on the day it voted overwhelmingly to arm this group. My exact warning: “This is an important moment. You will be funding, today, the allies of al-Qaeda.”
“It’s an irony you cannot overcome,” I added.

Did I miss anything?
The "rebels" Obama has been arming in Syria just INVADED Iraq!
What a dumb a** he is.
1213, could have swore it was the GOP that was stomping mad that Obama wasn't passing out Abrams tanks and flying sorties into Syria. Sounds to me you have no clue of what is actually going on with this issue both politically and strategically on the ground. Here's a hint; there is no single "rebel" entity to give any aid to.
The rebels in Syria ARE Al-qaeda and Al-qaeda linked.
Al-qaeda rebels also attacked the Benghazi CIA facility, which was a known weapons storage depot. Why didn't we defend it?
Al-qaeda also supposedly performed the 9/11 attack.
So, if we're giving Al-qaeda weapons in Syria and Libya, most of Libya know flyies the black Al-qaeda flag, and they supposedly brought down the twin towers, what is our government's view of us?
Hmm....
