Because we'll end up arming ISIS?
And remember when I said that obama was the founder of ISIS and that ISIS is what "The Arab Spring was designed to DO.
"In September, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted the Obama administration and hawks in both parties for aiding the Syrian rebel groups opposed to President Assad.
Said Paul, “The rebels have been all over the map… There’s said to be 1500 different groups. It is chaos over there. We will be sending arms into chaos.” Paul said, “It’s a mistake to arm them. Most of the arms we’ve given to the so-called moderate rebels have wound up in the hands of ISIS, because ISIS simply takes it from them, or it’s given to them, or we mistakenly actually give it to some of the radicals.”
A year earlier, in May 2013, Foreign Policy reported (emphasis mine), “Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN).
“This is an important moment,” Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. “You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It’s an irony you cannot overcome.”
This month, the Daily Beast’s Jamie Dettmer reports, “Main U.S.-Backed Syrian Rebel Group Disbanding, Joining Islamists.” Writes Dettmer:
The Syrian rebel group Harakat al-Hazm, one of the White House’s most trusted militias fighting President Bashar al-Assad, collapsed Sunday, with activists posting a statement online from frontline commanders saying they are disbanding their units and folding them into brigades aligned with a larger Islamist insurgent alliance distrusted by Washington.
The statement bore Hazm’s stamp and logo, and according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition monitoring group, the brigade’s fighting units are disbanding. Emails and phone calls to Hazm’s political leaders were not returned.
“Given what is happening on the Syrian front, offenses by the criminal regime with its cronies against Syria as a whole, and Aleppo specifically, and in an effort to stem the bloodshed of the fighters, the Hazm movement announces its dissolution,” the statement said…
Dettmer added, “Hazm was frequently touted by Obama aides as one of the militias they could rely on—a brigade that could partner on train-and-equip.”
