May as well start a new thread for the newest bone headed by President Dumbo.

Poll: By 3-To-1 Margin Americans Oppose U.S. Intervening In Syria
Image
Only 18% in favor, ouch.

Must be the hardcore koolaid drinkers like UNedgeUKATED and chuckmo.

Quote:
A majority of Americans oppose the US intervening directly in Syria, and most oppose US intervention even if the war spills over Syria’s borders.

The Obama administration announced today that it would begin providing arms to Syrian rebels fighting the Assad government, and is understood to be seriously examining creating a ‘no-fly zone’ in parts of Syria. No-fly zones would prevent the Syrian air force flying in these areas but would also require the US to bomb Syrian air defence installations, marking the first direct intervention in the civil war.

The latest research from YouGov shows that most Americans oppose arming the rebels and intervening directly, with 54% opposing intervention and only 18% supporting it.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Calls For Jihad In Syria
Image
Morsi’s government has already said it will allow Egyptians to travel to Syria to fight against Assad and Hezbollah.

Quote:
CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s ruling Muslim Brotherhood blamed Shi’ites for creating religious strife throughout Islam’s history, as the movement joined a call by Sunni clerics for jihad against the Syrian government and its Shi’ite allies.

In a striking display of the religious enmity sweeping the region since Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah committed its forces behind Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a Brotherhood spokesman in Cairo told Reuters on Friday: “Throughout history, Sunnis have never been involved in starting a sectarian war.”

Until recently, Egypt’s new Islamist president, the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Mursi, was promoting rapprochement with Iran, the bastion of Shi’ite political power and in February he hosted the first visit by an Iranian president in over 30 years.

But spokesman Ahmed Aref said Hezbollah had launched a new “sectarian war” last month by joining Tehran’s other key ally Assad in a fight that pits mainly Sunni rebels against a Syrian elite drawn from Assad’s Alawite minority, a Shi’ite offshoot.

For that reason, Aref said, the Brotherhood, which emerged from oppression after the fall of military rule two years ago to run by far the most populous Arab state, had joined a call made on Thursday by leading Sunni clerics for holy war in Syria.

Syrian Rebels Pledge Loyalty To Al-Qaeda Emir Ayman Al-Zawahiri
Image
The Obama Administration is now on the same side as al-Qaeda.

Quote:
BEIRUT — A Syrian rebel group’s April pledge of allegiance to al-Qaeda’s replacement for Osama bin Laden suggests that the terrorist group’s influence is not waning and that it may take a greater role in the Western-backed fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The pledge of allegiance by Syrian Jabhat al Nusra Front chief Abou Mohamad al-Joulani to al-Qaeda leader Sheik Ayman al-Zawahri was coupled with an announcement by the al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq, that it would work with al Nusra as well.

Lebanese Sheik Omar Bakri, a Salafist who says states must be governed by Muslim religious law, says al-Qaeda has assisted al Nusra for some time.

“They provided them early on with technical, military and financial support , especially when it came to setting up networks of foreign jihadis who were brought into Syria,” Bakri says. “There will certainly be greater coordination between the two groups.”

The United States, which supports the overthrow of Assad, designated al Nusra a terrorist entity in December. The Obama administration has said it wants to support only those insurgent groups that are not terrorist organizations.

Top Sunni Clerics Issue Fatwa Calling For Jihad In Syria
Image
And thanks to Obama, we’ll be arming them.

Quote:
CAIRO – Leading Sunni Muslim clerics issued a call to jihad in Syria on Thursday at a meeting in Cairo which condemned the conflict as a “war on Islam” and said believers should use all means to ensure victory.

In one of the most powerful statements yet for holy war against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Shi’ite allies from Iran and Lebanon, Islamic scholars from across the Arab world agreed a statement read by a prominent Egyptian preacher:

“Jihad is necessary for the victory of our brothers in Syria – jihad with mind, money, weapons; all forms of jihad,” Mohamed Hassan said, adding that more than 70 organizations represented had called for “support, whatever will save the Syrian people”.

“What is happening to our brothers on Syrian soil, in terms of violence stemming from the Iranian regime, Hezbollah and its sectarian allies, counts as a declaration of war on Islam and the Muslim community in general,” Hassan said.

Lebanon’s Iran-backed Shiite movement has been fighting alongside the forces of President Bashar Al-Assad, a member of the Alawite offshoot of Shia Islam, against Syria’s mainly Sunni rebels.

Obama Regime Announces Plan To Allow Thousands Of Syrian Refugees To Settle In America
Image
The mother of all bad ideas. Guess he didn't learn a lesson from the Boston Bombings.

Quote:
The Department of Homeland Security on Monday issued new regulations that will allow more Syrian refugees to temporarily settle in the United States.

The department estimates that about 9,000 people will be eligible to come to America under the 18-month extension to March 2015 of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrians. Another 2,600 or so Syrians already here will be able to apply to renew their status. The Obama administration first gave TPS designation to Syrian citizens and residents last year, and the status was set to expire on Sept. 30.

“The extension of the current Syria TPS designation and re-designation is due to the continued disruption of living conditions in the country that are a result of the extraordinary and temporary conditions that led to the initial TPS designation of Syria in 2012,” the Homeland Security Department said. “The extension is based on ongoing armed conflict in that region and the continued deterioration of country conditions.”

TPS status is a temporary status that allows people to work and travel in the United States.

The extension comes as the Obama administration is facing increased pressure to do more to help the Syrians affected by the civil war in their country, including by resettling some of them in the United States.

Me and 70% of the American public.

70% Of Americans Oppose Arming Rebels In Syria
Image
Shocking that Americans don’t want to get involved in a war the has Bashar Assad, Hezbollah, Iran on one side and Sunni salafist jihadis led by al-Qaeda on the other… OK, maybe it’s not that shocking.

Quote:
Broad majorities continue to oppose the U.S. and its allies sending arms and military supplies to anti-government groups in Syria. Last Thursday’s announcement that the U.S. would aid the rebels has not increasedpublic support for action, and majorities of all partisan groups are opposed.

Overall, 70% oppose the U.S. and its allies sending arms and military supplies to anti-government groups in Syria; just 20% favor this. Opinion is little changed from December of last year (24% favor) and support is down slightly from March, 2012 (29% favor).

Obama: You Can’t Understand Syria Policy “If You Haven’t Been In The Situation Room”
Image
He's talking like people we all have known,who try to explain a concept and you know they have no idea what the hell they are talking about!

Quote:
Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. “I’m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I’ve had throughout,” he said.

Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. “Really, what we’re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria,” said Obama.

And after a little back-and-forth, Rose said to Obama, “So you think a no fly zone is not necessary?”

Obama, the transcript suggests, seemed to think Rose wasn’t getting it. “What I’m saying is, that if you haven’t been in the Situation Room, pouring through intelligence and meeting directly with our military folks and asking, what are all our options, and examining what are all the consequences, and understanding that for example, if you set up a no-fly zone, that you may not be actually solving the problem on the zone,” he said.

Ted Cruz Blasts Obama For Arming Islamist Rebels In Syria: “Don’t Give Weapons To People Who Hate Us”
Image
Then again, Obama hates us.

Quote:
While most of the Senate is debating immigration reform this afternoon – Sen. Ted Cruz took time to deliver an address on the Senate floor criticizing President Obama for his decision to intervene in Syria.

Cruz warned that there were elements of Al Qaeda supporting the rebels and highlighted reports of some of them desecrating churches, kidnappings, rapes, and beheadings.

“These forces are engaged with a deadly struggle with the Assad regime and President Obama has chosen this moment to signal that it is now suddenly in our vital security interests to intervene in Syria,” Cruz said. “It seems far more likely a recipe for disaster.”

CIA Has Been Training Syrian Rebels How To Use Anti-Tank And Anti-Aircraft Weapons Since Last Year
Image
Ok everyone print this article and when an airliner gets shot down remember who gave them the weapons and the training.
Quote:
CIA operatives and U.S. special operations troops have been secretly training Syrian rebels with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons since late last year, months before President Obama approved plans to begin directly arming them, according to U.S. officials and rebel commanders…

The two-week courses include training with Russian-designed 14.5-millimeter anti-tank rifles, anti-tank missiles, as well as 23-millimeter anti-aircraft weapons, according to a rebel commander in the Syrian province of Dara who helps oversee weapons acquisitions and who asked his name not be used because the program is secret…

The rebels were promised enough armor-piercing anti-tank weapons and other arms to gain a military advantage over Assad’s better-equipped army and security forces, said the Dara commander.

But arms shipments from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, provided with assent from the Americans, took months to arrive and included less than the rebels had expected.

Bipartisan Group Of Senators File Bill To Try And Stop Obama From Arming Syrian Rebels
Image
Because Obama thinks he is above the law, he will just ignore it if it passes.

Quote:
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is one of four senators on Capitol Hill who introduced a new bill Thursday that would block President Obama from getting involved in the Syrian civil war.

The bill proposed Thursday would stop “the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, or any other agency or entity of the United States involved in intelligence activities” from “supporting, directly or indirectly, military or paramilitary operations in Syria by any nation, group, organization, movement, or individual.”

“The President’s unilateral decision to arm Syrian rebels is incredibly disturbing, considering what little we know about whom we are arming,” Paul said Thursday.

Other sponsors include Democratic Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico and Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican, is also a sponsor.

“Waves Of Egyptians” Heading To Wage Jihad In Syria As Clerics Call For Holy War In Cairo’s Mosques
Image
Why exactly did we get involved in this conflict?

Quote:
CAIRO — He was young and bright, with an education from Egypt’s premier school of Islamic studies and lucrative job offers in the Gulf.

But Bilal Farag chose a different path, friends say, one that led him to die on a distant Syrian battlefield while fighting Shiite Muslims he regarded as infidels.

“Everybody has their own goal in life,” said a close friend, Hosam Ali. “Bilal’s was to be a martyr.”

Waves of Egyptians are now preparing to follow, fired by the virulently sectarian rhetoric of Sunni preachers and encouraged by the newly permissive policies of Egypt’s Islamist government. In recent days, this city’s ancient mosques have crackled with calls for jihad, as hard-line Sunni Muslim leaders command the faithful to respond to recent escalations in Syria by the Shiite forces of Iran and Hezbollah.

The Sunni backlash has echoed far beyond Egypt, penetrating every corner of the region, where divisions between the rival Muslim sects are hardening fast. At the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site, the top cleric broke down in tears on pan-Arab television last week as he pleaded with his fellow Muslims to help the Syrian rebels “by all means.”

Foreign militants have long played a critical role in the Syrian uprising, but the prospect of a fresh flow of radicalized fighters bent on waging sectarian war threatens to complicate the Obama administration’s recently announced strategy to arm the rebellion’s moderate factions.

Although the United States and the Sunni jihadists share a common enemy — the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose Alawite sect represents an off-shoot of Shiite Islam — they have starkly different motivations. The United States is hoping to strengthen the rebels’ hand in advance of possible peace talks and to marginalize radical groups. Many foreign fighters, meanwhile, are seeking to defeat what they consider a deviant strain of Islam that they believe has declared war on the religion’s true adherents.

I wonder if these guys would pass a background check to buy a gun? Did you see the guy, who on video carved open the carcass of a dead Syrian soldier to remove his organs and proceeded to eat the liver? Yes, he gets a mental heath pass.

Putin: We Will Continue Selling Arms To Syria If Obama Attacks
Image
It’s obvious Putin is terrified of Obama… yeah, maybe not.

Quote:
Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Russia will continue arms sales and aid Syria if the U.S. goes forward with a military strike, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post notes Putin and President Obama met privately to discuss the crisis in Syria. He said it was “a very friendly conversation” lasting about 20 minutes. He said he listened to Obama’s arguments that the Syrian government must be punished for a devastating chemical weapons attack last month but that he continues to disagree with the U.S. position.

Deja Vu: Obama Dispatches Susan Rice To Make Case For Attacking Syria To The American Public
Image
She will also brief Congress on Syria on the anniversary of Benghazi.

I'm sure Obama's sheeple still believe every word, right UNedgeUCATED?

Quote:
Susan Rice famously blamed the Benghazi terror attack that took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, on an Internet video. She further said the terror attack occurred after a spontaneous protest over that anti-Muslim film got out of hand, instead of blaming the al Qaeda backed terrorists responsible for the murders.

“The White House has had quite enough of the controversy over ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, the misleading talking points she used in TV interviews about the jihadist attacks in Benghazi, and the Obama administration’s contradictory narrative about those attacks,” Steve Hayes reported in December.

But today, Rice will be called upon again to make a public case for the White House — this time, she’ll be talking about Syria. Except now Rice is the national security adviser, a promotion she received in the last year.

Here’s the press release from the New America Foundation, where Rice will be speaking today, which the White House forwarded along.
