This is another disaster waiting to happen. What the fuck are we arming those degenerates for? This isn’t about rebels fighting for democracy or something along those lines at all. This is about a group of Sunni extremists looking to take over a Shi’ite-led government being backed by Iran and Hezbollah. Shit, most of the rebels by now are probably backed by al Qaeda. And the Obama/Cain/Kerry axis thinks we’ll be able to only arm the “really serious rebels fighting for democracy” or whatever bullshit those dipshits have managed to buy into. What’s next? Turkey?
I don’t think this will backfire in the same way that arming the Taliban against the Soviets did, but I don’t think it will be that different either.
I cannot fucking stand how this country runs its foreign policy these days. And by days, I mean the last 20 or 30 years. We’re always meddling in other people’s shit and sometimes I don’t really blame these wacko Islamists for flying jets into our buildings. How the fuck would we Americans respond if the shoe were on the other foot and Iran was sending troops here to take out the Altria Group’s board of directors for producing cigarettes? Talk about a weapon of mass destruction.
American tobacco products have probably killed more people than all the wars in the world combined over the last 250 years. How would we respond if China said, “hey, you know what? Some Chinese citizens visiting Oakland today were killed by some American gang members. You guys have a gang problem over there and you’re producing weapons of mass destruction that are killing millions of us Chinese each decade. Since you can’t break up these gangs and you can’t stop producing cigarettes, we’re going to come in and take out the gangs and the Phillip-Morris factories ourselves.”
We would flip the fuck out. I really wish we would just stay out of this whole Syrian mess entirely. Who fucking cares what happens over there? What’s the difference? Does it really matter WHICH terrorist organization takes over that country? Because that is what is ultimately going to take place there. Some new group of authoritarians or terrorists are going to start running things over there. It doesn’t matter which group it is, but we’re going to end up arming one of them.
We should just throw everyone for a loop and start arming Assad’s forces instead. That’ll really throw a wrench in Iran’s plans, that’s for sure. If we’re going to arm one side, why not arm Assad’s side just for the fuck of it, just to flip things on their heads for real over there?
I know, I know. What about Israel??? We can’t let Israel become endangered!!! Fuck it. Let israel deal with the fallout. It’s more their problem than it is ours anyways, and we’ve certainly given Israel enough weaponry to fight that battle themselves. Let them have at it instead of us if it’s going to be someone going in there and muddying up the situation even further.
