Discussion: US May Decide To Train Syrian Rebels

Discussion for article #223224

Yes, I’m sure that will work out very well. We supported the “moderates” in Afghanistan in their fight against the Soviets, and that all turned out just peachy, right?

A nation of slow learners, we are.

Hasn’t this human disaster gone on long enough? The rebels are out manned and out gunned. They’ve retreated from their strong hold in Homs. Now we want to escalate it further?

And how, exactly, are we gonna pay for this new adventure? Gonna raise taxes NOW to pre-pay for it? Or just add it to the debt of future generations (while giving more tax cuts to the wealthy for supporting the war)? And add more unfunded woes to the VA.

Yeah - that’s what I thought.

How did they get that photo of beej?
