Obama seeks $500M to train, equip Syrian rebels
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama asked Congress Thursday for $500 million to train and arm vetted members of the Syrian opposition, as the U.S. struggles for a way to stem a civil war that has also fueled the al-Qaida inspired insurgency in neighboring Iraq.
The military training program would deepen the Obama administration's involvement in the more than four-year conflict between rebels and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. If approved by Congress, the program would supplement a covert train-and-assistance program run by U.S. intelligence agencies.
The Syria program is part of a broader $65.8 billion overseas operations request that the administration sent to Congress Thursday. The package includes $1 billion to help stabilize nations bordering Syria that are struggling with the effects of the civil war. It also formalizes a request for a previously announced $1 billion to strengthen the U.S. military presence in Central and Eastern Europe amid Russia's threatening moves in Ukraine.

We already have been arming them and training them for quite some time.
I must find a stronger description for this administration; My normal "INEPT" is a woefully inadequate.

I'm tired of the whole thing to begin with. Every time something happens in the ME lets send people and money. All these politicians love this malarkey. :roll:

Does he even know what the philosophy of these 'rebels' is? Remember this is the same guy who supported the Muslim Brotherhood over Mubarak (a long time American ally) who overthrew Gadaffi and made a mess in Libya, and who left Iraq where the Islamists are now creating a terrorist state extending into Syria.
It's well past time that the American people began asking themselves whose side this guy is on.
Wouldn't we be defacto arming the same people we currently want to bomb in Iraq?
Hey Thom, about your signature.
Didn't Thomas Jefferson say that?
We're freeing terrorists to get back traitors and now we're arming the people who are killing our allies in an Iraqi government that only exists because we put it there.Yes...., but don't tell the POTUS that it might hurt his ego.

My head feels like a football...
It's more than that. The last couple of months feel like a chapter out of 1984 or something.Yeah... I've smelt something awfully funny ruminated from the bowels of Liberal America and I don't like it.... oh wait... its a giant turd.... and Liberal America is waiting for OBAMA MAMMA to change their diaper to rid us of the stench.... truth is OBAMA MAMMA never plans on changing the diaper.... guess liberal america will have to wait for the next POTUS to change its diaper.
