Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is considering a plan to use U.S. military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the Syrian rebels, in a move that would greatly expand the current CIA training being done quietly in Jordan, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

I loathe Ted Cruz; however, I cannot agree more with his summation of the Syrian civil war...something along the lines of 'we are not Al Qaeda's air force'.
At least Napolean was on the field!

I always thought Assad was the best friend we were going to get in Syria. Not recognizing that is what is trashing our credibility, letting get away with chemical genocide actually help our credibility by letting it be known that we would allow no bullshit get in the way of getting our way.

We didn't give a shit when Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against Iran.
For that matter we didn't give a shit when we dumped 20 million gallons of Agent Orange on Vietnam....and then had our own troops march through the contaminated areas.

Giggity.

That was some of the goofiest shit I've ever seen. It was like something a 13 year-old girl would make about the boy she has a crush on.
And what was up with the marijuana leaf?
