And that we are backing the rebels who just pledged loyalty to al-Qaeda?

    This is a 'sticky' one, since the War Powers Act was supposed to prevent any armed conflicts without Congressional approval. Obama gets away with arming the rebels, and thus taking a side in the conflict, by claiming that no soldiers are being sent to fight. The Nam war began with aid in the form of weapons AND 'military advisers'. We'll will see what happens next....

    What a choice! Al-Qaeda or Hezbollah? This is a dogfight I want no part of. Both teams suck.

    Arming the mujaheddin by any other name ends in the same bad place for us. We need to stay out of other countries civil wars, we've got our own going on here with the subverting of the Constitution so sharia can replace it. Or will the communist win?
