She´s a girl profiting from the government´s secularity in a part of the world, where she would be killed for her lifestyle.

Obama is flat out lying. ..

The first Syrian people to rise up against the Assad regime and get organized was the FSA (Free Syrian Army).

It was grass roots rebellion composted of average citizens who wanted to oust Assad and transform Syria into a secular democracy.

They made great progress in the first 2 years with the lite weapons they possessed. But Assad's tanks and jet planes were difficult to defeat and the FSA started to lose ground.

The FSA begged the Obama administration for heavier weapons to defeat Assad's formidable military but were turned down repeatedly.

Once the FSA started losing most of the battles and Assad's army advanced. That's when Jihadist's from around the world started to arrive and took control of the rebellion.

The FSA begged everyone and anyone for heavy weapons. No one wanted to help them. Why would it be the USA's job or obligation to ignore the wishes of all the Muslim countries in the region that advised against supplying those heavy weapons? What made it Obama's decision over the decision of all the Muslim countries who could have stepped up to the plate? The answer is simple. Blame Obama and distract and deflect away from the Muslim countries who ignored their responsibilities.

During 50 years USA is only good to plot military coups and arm dictatorship to fight their people.

So in essence, you support dictators as long as they are secular?

I guess N. Korea and China would also meet your standards. ..

The caliphate is not a western secular democracy.

The caliph will be chosen by a vote of the sunni elders. ..

President Obama has dismissed the idea that supplying US arms to Syrian rebels would have toppled President Assad, calling it a "fantasy".
His comments came in a CBS interview when he was asked if a power vacuum had been created in the Middle East which was fuelling violence in Iraq.
He said there was no "ready-made moderate Syrian force that was able to defeat Assad".
BBC News - Obama: US arms could help defeat Assad is 'fantasy'

so why have we been doing it and why did he just request 500 million for them.....

Watch the clip of an interview with Obama in the BBC article.
Looks like it´s against ISIS and will be rejected as waste of money as the FSA has no future.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Cant listen to him ........maybe answer the question

Done.

 

[Manonthestreet]

You do know he is and has been arming them........"just words......just speeches"

We shall see what will happen. FSA/ISIS/Kurds will withdraw from Syria and what Iraq will become is still open, but it looks like that the Iraqi army is on its way.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Been training and arming them in Jordan for long time.....Putin wasnt going to let Syria go down........

Help from the US might have ended Assad's reign 33 months ago. Now it is spit in an ocean.

The Syrian people prevented such an attempt.

President Assad is a democratically elected President.

He was elected was oppose by two candidate that were "approved" to loose. It was a farce.

It was the first time more than one name/face was on the ballot, but the result was the same. Assad was assured reelection before the voting even began
