Hillary Clinton and congressmen alike have called on Obama to arm Syria’s rebels. But the president fumed at lawmakers in a private meeting for suggesting he should’ve done more.
President Obama got angry at lawmakers who suggested in a private meeting that he should have armed the Syrian rebels, calling the criticism “horseshit.”
The argument that America should have done more in Syria, made for years by foreign policy leaders in both parties and several members of Obama’s senior national security team, was brought back to the fore this past weekend. Obama and Hillary Clinton gave dueling interviews in which they publicly split on whether the security and humanitarian catastrophe in Syria could have been avoided if the United States had played a larger role. Obama’s outburst on July 31, one week prior, reveals the criticism was already getting to him, even before the White House tried to deflect Clinton’s remarks as pre-presidential political posturing.
The Obama Prog practice of throwing others under the bus returns with Hillary throwing Obama under her presidential campaign bus. However the pastime of one Prog throwing another under their Prog bus is legend. Anyone remember Stalin’s advice to Nikita Khrushchev?
Counting the days to commercial fusion. It is not that long now.
Stalin advised NK to throw him under the bus, which NK did when he assumed power. Prog eat Prog political strategy is a long, time honored Prog tradition.
Counting the days to commercial fusion. It is not that long now.
Obama CREATED ISIS, Hillary/Obama were both involved in operations from Turkey to fund and arm the Syrian rebels, many of whom are the ones who created ISIS. Obama was perfectly fine with ISIS as long as they were fighting Assad. Notice the media NEVER REPORTED ISIS ATROCITIES IN SYRIA. They've been beheading and massacring Christians in Syria for months and NO REPORTING by any major American media. Only once they poured into Iraq and started beheading devil-worshippers (the Yazidis worship a God named "Satan" who was a fallen angel) and fighting against the US-backed government there, did Obama and the US media start talking about ISIS.
As I said before: If America didn't try to oust Assad, the civil war in Syria wouldn't have happened, ISIS would not exist, and hundreds of thousands wouldn't have died.
This article is duplicitous because Hillary and Obama DID ARM Syrian rebels (covertly through Turkey but this was reported by mainstream press even). The rebels that Hillary/Obama armed in Syria, many of them ARE NOW ISIS members!
America needs to admit democratic Republics don't work for everyone. Palestine elects terrorists like Hamas. The Egyptian Republic elected the Muslim Brotherhood's Morsi and Obama had to overthrow him with US-financed Egyptian army and he put General el-Sisi as the new "el Presidente" dictator.
And in Libya, overthrowing Gaddafi with US-funded rebels led DIRECTLY to the death of our ambassador in Benghazi the hands of those same rebels (many of them were using US-funded weaponry). If instead of stoking the fires of rebellion in Egypt, Syria, etc. we had instead SUPPORTED Mubarak, Assad, Saddam, etc. There would be NO ISIS today, NO Al Qaeda in Iraq, NO Benghazi, our ambassador to Libya would still be alive, and more importantly our 4,400 soldiers who died in Iraq would still be alive and the nearly 100,000 soldiers who were wounded (either physically or mentally) in Iraq would not have been wounded.
