It’s amazing to say it but Vladmir Putin has been the only one with any common sense in the continuing war on terror. Russia knows full well the threat of fanatical Islam, our President does not. More proof that Putin was right came today:
American hopes of winning more influence over Syria’s fractious rebel movement faded Wednesday after 11 of the biggest armed factions repudiated the Western-backed opposition coalition and announced the formation of a new alliance dedicated to creating an Islamic state.
The al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, designated a terrorist organization by the United States, is the lead signatory of the new group, which will further complicate fledgling U.S. efforts to provide lethal aid to “moderate” rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Others include the Tawheed Brigade, the biggest Free Syrian Army unit in the northern city of Aleppo; Liwa al-Islam, the largest rebel group in the capital, Damascus; and Ahrar al-Sham, the most successful nationwide franchise of mostly Syrian Salafist fighters. Collectively, the new front, which does not yet have a formal name but has been dubbed by its members the “Islamist Alliance,” claims to represent 75 percent of the rebels fighting to topple Assad.
Gen. Salim Idriss, the head of the moderate Supreme Military Council and the chief conduit for U.S. aid to the rebels, cut short a visit to Paris after the announcement of the alliance overnight Tuesday and will head to Syria on Thursday to attempt to persuade the factions to reconsider, according to the council’s spokesman, Louay al-Mokdad.
It seems everyone knew that the “rebels” were just an army of terrorists long ago, the evidence has long been there, but not our President. In fact he’s arming our enemy.
Obama believed the world would be better without Khaddafi in power, now they are an Islamic state ruled by fanatics. Obama believed the world would be better off without Mubarak in power and supported a fanatic Islamic leader to run Egypt. Now he believes that Syria would be better off being run by those loyal to al-Qaeda.
And the only one who knows better it seems is Putin.
Unbelievable…
