What this report conveniently omits is, that the CIA, operating on the Turkish border with Syria, are trying to stop the flow of Saudi/Qatari supplied weapons to Al-Qaeda.

This Fox news story is how one creates hysteria, and slings mud on the President. Oh, but Fox would never do that!laugh

Not just Faux that's reporting it. CNN and a few others have had small little blurbs.... heaven forbid they begin to let anyone think our muslim president sides with the enemy... or the commies....

That's a tough question. In my opinion, we supplied Saddam and bin Laden with the money, resources, and weapons to do what they did. To us civilians, yea, they probably are the enemy. But I'm not so sure to say our government thinks the same thing. Remember, this is no longer a democracy country, we are Capitalist. Would it surprise me this country becomes a Communist country someday? Not at all.

Al Quaeda is the enemy when it's convenient. When they were fighting the Soviets, the regime considered Al Quaeda "allies" and supported them financially. Same with Sadam and just about every other dictator the regime has dealt with. Stalin was "Uncle Joe" to FDR and the Reds were officially great folks till the Cold War. Like every other regime, the US regime needs a boogey man to justify its absurdities.

Yes, I am well aware of that. It's a story that has gone viral and escalated from fairly innocuous origins. People are basically saying 1 + 1 = 3. Obama is not supporting Al-Qaeda as such, but factions of the Syrian rebellion. Because some factions have been infiltrated by Al-Qaeda, the story that the US is sponsoring Al-Qaeda has gained currency. It's a bit of a stretch.

there was no al Queda during Soviet-times!
There wasn't even a Taliban!
All that came in the Aftermath of the Soviet Withdrawal!

The US didn't fund Bun Laden and he would never take money from America and frankly he didn't need money from us he was loaded.

Al Qaeda was formed in the 90's after the war with the Soviets was over. Nice try.

Al Qaeda was formed years after the first golf war, that is what caused Bin Laden's jump into major extremeism.

Uncle Joe,until he swallowed up all of Eastern Europe!
Besides,everyone knows where FDR's Sympathies were!
Yep,Saddam was an Ally,that's why his Weaponry was Soviet/Russian and European.

Al-Qaeda our enemy!
Perish the thought.

Al-Qaeda is our kind friend kindly trying to assist us to find our
path to salvation through strict adherence to fundamentalist radical
Islamic theocracy. What could be kinder than that?

Sure - sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind but you know...
spare the rod and spoil the child!!



A truly LOVING friend like Al-Qaeda will not hesitate to FIRMLY
discipline a rebellious wife, girl, boy or friend. It is for
their own good.

Maybe I'm thinking of the Taliban, either way they have become and issue that our Marines could take care of in a few days if they didn't have their right hand handcuffed to their left ankle!

maybe there are diff factions and one faction is trying to take control of the hierarchy

been to several diff places that have same name but none are ever really the same

just a thought but what do i know

***<other than we should pull our money and human assets out of foreign affairs and spend it here>***

but what do i know hhhmmmmm

if the enemy is fighting at point c while friendly are fighting at point a does that not reduce and weaken the enemy at point a and reduce their numbers overall the report says aid is non lethal and would you give encrypted radios to possible enemy you do not have the encryption code for

just a thought

but again

what do i know
