Well it didn't take long.....The Rebels are out criticizing the Air Strikes. The very same ones that Kerry said we were going to train. The others still want the pressure on Assad. How do you think this affects things going forward with the money BO wants to give to these MB Backed Sunni Rebels?
A Syrian rebel group that has reportedly received weapons from the United States criticised air strikes Tuesday by a US-led coalition against jihadists in the war-torn country. The Hazm Movement, in a statement posted on their Twitter account, said the strikes would undermine the armed opposition and benefit President Bashar al-Assad's regime. They described the strikes as "an attack on national sovereignty that undermines the Syrian revolution".
The Hazm Movement is among a small number of rebel groups reported to have received US weapons earlier this year, and was among those cited by US Secretary of State John Kerry last week as likely to receive US arms and training in coming months. Syria's opposition National Coalition, a key political grouping, welcomed the US-led strikes on Tuesday, but also urged the international community to keep up pressure on Assad.....snip~

Are you saying that Rep. Charlie Wilson (Lib-D) ****ed up ?

Support of the Mujahideen created a power vacuum that gave rise to the Taliban. US interference has been creating consequences for decades.
Libs that don't know their history spent a lot of time after 9-11-01 accusing Reagan of arming the Mujahideen not knowing it was a liberal who was actually behind it.
These are also the people that McCain and Graham wanted to arm two years ago.

You could say that Obama forgot to get his shoes shined and twenty progressives would pipe up to announce that Bush never wore shoes.
Wasn't the Taliban created by Pakistan intelligence ?

I'm thinking Obama trying to get these guys to do his fighting for him will be a tricky, touchy, dangerous endeavor. I wish him luck.
And even that is not clear cut. The ever changing allegiances within the rebel movements are still not fully understood as the western world continues to read Arab culture through western eyes. I was once told by a Lebanese exchange student in international studies that the phrase "the enemy of my friend is my friend, the friend of my enemy is my enemy. My "friend" today may be agreeing to not attack me today, tomorrow brings new light
Its as reflexive as it is boring at this point.
At this point Obama needs more than luck.
It passed boring and rounded to nauseating in the first term.
It displays the real truth, they have no ethic, no tenet, merely PR.
Have you noticed none of these gerbils has jumped in to defend Obama's stupid decision not to seek congressional approval? Just like when he didn't say "if you like your plan...."
That's because no other president in history has ever jumped headlong into that sewage laden gutter, they can't say "Bush did it to" as the last guy who didn't was this fellow who has a rather ugly reputation even though he did end the Vietnam war and go to China.
They aren't comfortable saying "Nixon did it too!" for some reason.
Yeah. Not much though, just a workable plan.
And you bring a very good point. Syria being a glaring example of that with the morphing of these groups, making alliances, dissolving them, coming in from Libya, Lebanon and elsewhere, quite the cluster foxtrot!
And they would be right.
