Discussion: House Votes To Arm Syrian Rebels And Avert A Government Shutdown

Discussion for article #227797

HI, did anyone see what just happened. We stuck our head in the toilets and flushed until we got what we wanted. We saved the CR and all the rest of the bills would have not been put up for a vote.
Phew, saved once again and it looks like we saved the country from obama destroying it.
Pathetic bonehead. wonder what turtlehead is going to hold out for. Another trophy???

If the Grimes campaign gets its shit together, Yertl won’t have anything to say about it.

“…The final vote was 319-108…”

So President Obama has been right all along, according to a majority of the House.

If its not ISIS, it is Al Qaeda, Taliban, Boko haram, Al Shabab – the list is endless. We should not be playing whack-a-mole with the social, cultural and religious infrastructure that serially generate these terrorist groups.

Every time we take on one Sunni Wahabbit terrorist group, it spawns more monsters more savage and barbaric than the one before. Instead, we have fight Wahabbi Sunni geopolitical interests and caliphatic ambitions across the world the way we fought communism and nazism. It has to be smart multi-faceted and global strategy not limited to simplistic military actions.

The Saudis are more than willing to send kids from their harems to terrorist camps but will not send their army to fight ISIS. It may be better to co-opt both Assad and the moderate Syrian opposition in our fight against ISIS. We could share intelligence with both of them. We should not have a blatantly pro-Sunni Middle East policy driven only by oil and Israel’s security interests. We have to factor terrorism in our Middle East foreign policy calculus.
