Op-ed: Arming the Wrong Side with Congressional Approval
Op-ed:
Arming the Wrong Side with Congressional Approval By: Diane Sori
‘We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Army’s gatherings in…Qalamoun.’
Admission by Bassel Idriss, commander of a Free Syrian Army brigade
NOT good folks...NOT good at all.
As our country's top generals continue to urge Obama to reconsider
his pledge NOT to send American 'boots on the ground' into Iraq to help
in the fight against ISIS...to fight against his brethren of
sorts...both the House and the Senate sold 'We the People' and America
itself out yet again.
Cleverly and calculatingly attached to a short-term spending bill to
fund the government and keep it up and running through December11th at a $1.012 trillion level...by
a 273 to 156 vote...the House voted in favor of arming and training the
anything but 'moderate' Syrian rebels...specifically the Free Syrian
Army.
And in the Senate, 44 Democrats, 33 Republicans, and one independent
voted for the bill, while 9 Democrats, 12 Republicans*, and one
independent voted against the bill. Sadly, Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell also voted for this abomination of a bill knowing full
well that Obama's "NO Strategy' strategy to defeat ISIS will NEVER
happen for Obama does NOT want to defeat ISIS...he still wants to
'manage' ISIS...manage ISIS with perhaps him calling all the shots.
But to make this vote all the more grievous is that when you break the
numbers down, in the House 159 Republicans** voted in support of a bill
that
actually 'aids and abets' the enemy with only 71 Republicans voting
against it...while 114 Democrats supported it with 85 of their party
voting against it. And in the Senate with only 12 Republican Senators
opposing this bill, the sad fact is that our own party sold us out by
allowing this vote to pass.
NOT that this vote really means anything as Barack HUSSEIN Obama has
said time and again that he has the authority any time he so chooses to order the Pentagon to
deploy airstrikes against ISIS fighters in Syria as well as in Iraq. But
actually he does NOT for while the Constitution states that the
President as Commander-in-Chief is authorized to conduct war, Article
One, Section Eight, Clause 11...sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause...clearly states that "Congress shall have power
to...declare War"...meaning that Congress must first enact a declaration
of war in order to commit the U.S. to war before the president can
conduct war.
And Obama knows this but simply does NOT care just like he does NOT
care that his 'NO Strategy' strategy plan to have U.S. troops train
Syrian rebels...train the Free Syrian Army at camps in Saudi
Arabia...could take up to a year...for this allows ISIS to grow
stronger...something he seems to so want.
And
Obama also wants the Free Syrian Army to be part of his anything
but a true coalition...to send the Free Syrian Army into battle against
ISIS equipped to the hilt with US arms even knowing that they support
and work with ISIS and have the same goal as ISIS...have the same goal
as him actually...as in taking down al-Assad's secular government and
replacing it with a Sunni sharia state and having that state part of the
ISIS wanted caliphate. And what
better way to do that than to delay with 'supposed' training those who
should be but won't be the ones going into battle.
But with this most disgraceful of votes Obama can now say that he has
full Congressional support to get the U.S. involved in the Syrian civil
war...in a war with a sovereign nation NOT at war with us...in a war
where Obama has aligned himself...and thus America...with the wrong side
or to be more
precise has aligned himself with the enemy for the Free Syrian
Army...including those members he claims to have vetted...are directly
linked to al-Nusra and al-Qaeda...are directly linked together
to fight Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian Armed Forces...and together they
are ISIS...ISIL...the Islamic State...take your pick as they're all one
and the same.
And those in Congress know all this and many even have serious
concerns about the Free Syrian Army yet they still voted to fund and arm
them, and for that those who voted 'yea'...I believe...are just as guilty of
'aiding and abetting' the enemy as Barack HUSSEIN Obama is.
And as ISIS continues to spew threats against America...threats Obama
says have NO tangible proof behind them...I guess two Americans and one Brit being
beheaded sends NO message at all except that they interrupted his golf
game that is...Obama keeps harping again and again that America must
support the anything but 'moderate' Free Syrian Army. And don't you find
that more than just a wee bit unnerving...and don't you thing red flags should be
raised...as the Free Syrian Army is as guilty of beheadings, raping, and
slaughtering civilians...slaughtering Christians...as is ISIS...the
group from which they were born.
Also, remember that the CIA and Obama had secretly been sending
weapons and arms to the Free Syrian Army for quite sometime...can you
say Benghazi... weapons and arms stockpiles that were raided by ISIS and
al-Nusra (the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria) while the Free Syrian Army
looked away...meaning that ISIS might have actually won some of their
battles...killed a multitude of civilians...using Obama supplied
American weapons and arms. And let's NOT forget
that last December both the U.S. and Britain stopped sending weapons and
arms to the Free Syrian Army but that this past April, Obama started
arming them again...this time arming them with heavy weapons like tanks
and anti-aircraft missiles...and now he's insisting...and Congress
agreed...that we arm them yet
again...this time to the tune of $500+ million.
So if we continue to arm the Free Syrian Army...a group most
assuredly tied to ISIS and al-Qaeda...with deals in place NOT to step on
each others toes...one has to wonder why first, Obama is NOT completely
and outwardly backing both our allies the Kurds and the
religious minorities who are being slaughtered by the likes of
ISIS...and second...and this thought is beyond simply scary...if when
Obama had
all our troops pull out of Iraq if he didn't deliberately insist on
leaving behind all those helicopters, tanks, military equipment, and
arms so that his brethren could secure them and eventually and easily
form a circle of
sorts with Israel at its targeted dead center...the Obama condoned and
oh so wanted Levant finally come to fruition.
Just something to think about...just something to consider...as only
one aligned with those out to kill us all would do what he is doing...or
should I say NOT doing.
