Report: Western Countries Turning Blind Eye To Weapons Purchases By Syrian Rebels…

I can’t shake the feeling we will eventually be giving them weapons (if we aren’t already secretly doing it).

(Al Arabiya) — Western and other countries are turning a blind eye to weapons purchases by Syrian exiles who are already smuggling light arms, communications equipment and night vision goggles to rebels inside Syria, a Syrian opposition source said on Friday as Russia called for an urgent ceasefire in the Syrian city of Homs.

Syrian opposition supporters were also trying to find ways to bring anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons to the Free Syrian Army, which is composed mainly of Syrian soldiers who have defected and volunteer civilians, the source said.

Contacts were also ongoing to find ways to get retired Syrian officers into the country to act as advisers in an effort to coordinate rebels fighting in a near year-long uprising against Bashar al-Asad’s rule.

“We are bringing in defensive and offensive weapons… It is coming from everywhere, including Western countries and it is not difficult to get anything through the borders,” the source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

    Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and soon Syria… All will join Iran to advance the cause of radical Islam.

    Congratulations Mr. President. You have outdone J. Carter by a hundred miles or more in the race to be the worst prez ever!

    Jihadis from all over the world are gonna go to Syria, and many of them will meet Allah – hopefully the rebels get just enough support to keep this going for a good long time…

    So we arm and train them, to what end? To stop the brutality and bloodshed? Hasn’t freakin’ worked in any of the other ‘Spring’ movements. They get what they want and then the Muslim Brotherhood takes over. What’s better, a stick in the eye or a knife in the back?

    Drop burning Koo Rans and blame both sides. They will take each other out.

    The Saudis wish Russia would call for a ceasefire, but they’re not. The Russians have always been wanting to establish a corridor from Iran to the Mediterranean. They’re not going to give this up until the US gets a POTUS with a set of gonads.

    Obama is arming our enemies and the enemies of Israel.

    These are the same weapons that will kill our military personnel and the civilian population of Israel.

    Why?

    This isn’t treason?

    Any person who believes the Obummer administration is not arming our enemies is a buffoon. Obummer is sick, and so is our nation for voting in this obomination. Will we be cured of the disease in the fall?

    Obama’s 10 point foreign policy plan:

    1. Make your country as weak as possible.
    2. Agree with your enemy that he has a reason to attack you.
    3. Fund your enemies.
    4. Arm your enemies.
    5. Hog tie your allies.
    6. Allow your enemies to form a collective front.
    7. Fund a global organization called the U.N. which supports your enemies.
    8. Demoralize your own soldiers.
    9. Allow your enemy to take, keep and analyze your advanced technology for intelligence gathering, without repercussion.
    10. Allow the citizens of foreign countries to pour across your borders and sue your own states for trying to keep them out.

    Of course it’s treason!
    Wake up U.S.A.!
    You elected a guy who is doing everything he can to destroy you and Western civilization.
    Here comes the islamic caliphate, courtesy of Obama.

    It’s like Beelzebub now lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
    Beelzebub, lord of the Flies.
    How freakin’ stupid is the average American, these days, anyway?
    What are they putting in the water over there?

    Well I guess I can’t talk; we in Australia elected Julia freakin’ Gillard, the mad
    Fabian commie witch, who can heal all by speaking over the wounds.

    We have a nutless Congress that refuses to impeach the bastard despite the ten
    point policy plan pointed out by Katherine. Nothing for Patriots to do but wait
    until such time that the policies put in place are irreversible, and Marshal Law
    established to extend the reign of the destroyer, at the first sign of civil unrest.
