You couldn't make it up.
Obama is looking for $500m to give to train and equip what he described as "moderate" Syrian opposition forces. These "rebels" are al Qaeda members and al Qaeda supporters! The same people the US is at war with in Afghanistan and Pakistan! And I mean *literally the same people*. These are the militants 10,000 US soldiers have been killed fighting against over the last ten years. Now the US is supporting them because it is determined to oust the democratically-elected President of Syria.
As for "training and equipping" a local army - this is precisely what the US did in Iraq, over a ten-year period. And what happened? They took off their uniforms and deserted their posts when they learned that they were about to come under attack from militant Islamists.
There were no Islamic terrorists in Iraq until the US orchestrated "regime change".
There were no Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan until the US orchestrated regime change.
There were no Islamic terrorists in Libya until the US orchestrated regime change.
There were no Russian forces in Ukraine until the US orchestrated regime change.
And now the US is trying to bring about regime change in Syria - by arming and supporting al Qaeda!
Insane.
