Allen West is right: House Resolution to fund Syrian rebels: pure unadulterated madness.
Problem is that the resolution will most likely pass, especially since it is being added to a stop-gap funding bill to keep government open until early December. Same old politics.The Obama administration and indeed now Congress are apparently dead set on “arming” Syrian rebels to fight against ISIS. These are the same folks to which the president referred to as doctors, farmers, and pharmacists and said any endeavor to arm them was a “fantasy.” Well, looks like that fantasy is about to come true.
Our commander-in-chief recently gave
military members the pink slip in downsizing our military so
government can save funds to spend foolishly somewhere else. Now
Obama wants to hire individuals to fight the enemy of the United
States and all free nations, ISIS. Once again, Obama is just siding
with one faction of Islam to combat another, using taxpayer funding
to pay an outsource entity when the US cannot afford to pay its own
military.
The bill, when signed, will authorize
$500 million. History shows that supporting one faction of Islamists
against another, like the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, proved
not to be cost effective and a failure.
West:
We did so in Afghanistan supporting the Mujahideen against the Soviets and that gave way to what became the Taliban and ultimately al-Qaida. We should never forget that it was Osama bin Laden who fought with the Mujahids. If you want recent history, just look at Libya where we armed and supported Islamists forces to overthrow Qaddafy — and what has been the result? We had an American Special Mission Compound (SMC) attacked, four dead Americans (to include an Ambassador), and the evacuation of our embassy. We hear the U.S. will monitor the Syrian rebels to ensure our weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands — we did a crappy job of that in Libya.
Once again, directly or indirectly, or
both – we will be arming elements that is just as bad as the
'enemy'. As West stated:
Even more disconcerting is that the action on the amendment and the underlying funding bill are likely to be the last major acts of Congress before they adjourn for the final stretch ahead of the midterm elections. So our elected representatives will pass some mess and then run home and ask for your vote?
The United States is making the same
mistake ancient Rome did – outsource (mercenary) it military to
deal with invaders. Islamic Jihadism is global because they have
infiltrated many nations, not to assimilate, but to subvert and
dominate.
In the meantime, Obama has expanded aid
to West Africa by sending military at an added cost of $763 million
to fight the spread of Ebola; allegedly preventing its spread to the
United States. He is deploying 3,000 US military personnel to lead
the project. Obama stated:
Responding to the Ebola outbreak is a top national security priority.
Meanwhile, he ignores the plight at the
southern border, where illegal immigrants pour over the border
without the illegal immigration process of medical examination. Who
knows what diseases are being brought over the border? So how does
spending money in West Africa prevent Ebola from spreading here?
American voters should be keeping note
as to who will vote for this nonsense – and make it clear this
November election, that We the People no longer want a government of
'politics as usual'.
The enemy of free nations will have its
way because the worst enemy we have is those we choose as leadership.
Daily Surge shows that Kerry, Biden and Obama possess the 'worst judgment possible'. While Barbara Boxer stated:
I think it is shocking and a sad state of affairs that we heard just now such angry comments aimed at you, Mr. Secretary, and through you at our president, instead of at ISIS … I think it's shocking. I'm actually shaking.
Mrs. Hypocrite Boxer forgets her
outrageous verbal attacks against GW Bush administration and his fight
against terrorism that was indeed a “sad state of affairs”.
Here is the video of what Boxer refers to when Senator Bob
Corker grills John Kerry:
Notice in the video behind Kerry the
little pink signs sponsored by the Code Pink weirdos.
Obama
created this mess because he has during his entire time in office
supported those who are part of this mess. He has lied and stated that
it was not his idea nor fault that troops were withdrawn from Iraq
before not insuring that Iraq armed forces could handle their own
defense. Obama has made a diplomatic mess in Egypt, Syria and Libya -
attacking the latter without congressional approval, supports an open US
border policy and amnesty proposal that encourages more illegal
immigrants to pour over the border increasing national security issues
and the possibility of spreading diseases through that broken conduit of
our border.
