The Obama Administration wants a half a billion dollars to arm so-called "moderate" rebel forces in Syria, a move that would further entangle our country in their civil war.
Obama's latest request comes just one month after the he announced his intention to create a multi-billion dollar global "anti-terror fund."
While the President and others like Secretary of State John Kerry argue that American aid will only be awarded to “vetted elements of the Syrian armed opposition," it's already been proven that there is no way to fully ensure our aid isn't used against us.
As CENTCOM Commander General Lloyd Austin pointed out earlier this year, "Undoubtedly, some weapons and funds flowing into Syria wind up in the hands of extremists such as the Al Nusrah Front or the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant [ISIS]."
Keep in mind that ISIS is the group which recently announced it's "five-year territorial expansion plan" which spans from Northern Africa to Indonesia:
Patriot, it's crucial that you contact members of the U.S. House and Senate and demand they stop Obama from providing any kind of assistance to any faction of the Syrian Army.
We're counting on you to help us mobilize this important message ...
Take action: Demand Congress to PASS H.R. 2494 and S. 1201 to STOP Obama and his Administration from providing weapons and aid to the Syrian Rebels. No subsidizing radical Islamic terror.
Executive Branch Ramping Up Aid
John Kerry and Barack Obama have been pushing for more U.S. involvement in Syria, despite Congress' decision last year keeping us out of their civil war.
While they claim they won't put any "boots on the ground," the Administration is boldly moving to "ramp up" efforts to fund and arm the Syrian Rebels. U.S. State Secretary John Kerry said in late May that he and Obama "will be working very closely with Congress to engage in additional assistance to the moderate opposition."
Despite the fact that federal law prohibits the United States from funding any military coup d'état - which is exactly what the rebels are engaging in - it's clear that Obama, Kerry, and certain members of Congress are hell-bent on "assisting" Syrian rebel factions regardless.
As Sen. Mike Lee warns, providing more aid to the Syrian Rebels -- without any assurance that the weapons won't be used against us -- is like "pouring gas on a fire."
It's important that you take action on this today and tell Congress to prohibit the Obama Administration from using any funds to arm the Syrian Rebels in their efforts to topple their government and install Sharia law.
Take action: Demand Congress to PASS H.R. 2494 and S. 1201 to STOP Obama and his Administration from providing weapons and aid to the Syrian Rebels. No subsidizing radical Islamic terror.
No Certainty
After Obama's West Point Address, where the President encouraged Congress to appropriate 5 BILLION USD for a new global anti-terrorist fund, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Ut.) made the following statement:
Sen. Lee points out that a March 6 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing proves that the United States government cannot determine whether or not the arms provided to so-called "vetted" or "moderate" groups will fall into the wrong hands."The situation in Syria is desperate and we should be constantly assessing it for threats to U.S. security, but I am concerned that sending American weapons and training into this crisis could be like pouring gas on a fire.
When senior members of the president's national security team cannot [assure] that assistance won't fall into the hands of our enemies, or that the people we train today won't be fighting alongside al-Qaeda tomorrow, we should be very careful in considering approaches that could assist extremists in that conflict."(emphasis ours)
He notes that National Intelligence Director James Clapper confirmed in February that factions of the rebel force "may disagree ideologically, but will, if it's convenient for them in a tactical context, agree to work together."
Information like this makes it perfectly clear that the United States has no business providing any weapons to any segments of the Syrian Opposition as none can be trusted.
We've got to once again mobilize on this and demand that U.S. Representatives and Senators start taking immediate actions to prevent further U.S. assistance to Syrian terrorists.
Take action: Demand Congress to PASS H.R. 2494 and S. 1201 to STOP Obama and his Administration from providing weapons and aid to the Syrian Rebels. No subsidizing radical Islamic terror.
They're All Terrorists
We've pointed out over and over again that, despite the Obama
Administration's claims, the Syrian rebels are not the "liberators" they
are painted to be. Multiple reports reveleaed them to be guilty of
heinous crimes - beheadings, crucifixions, and other gruesome acts - against Christians and other innocent non-Muslims in addition to members of their own government. Former Muslim Brotherhood member turned Christian advocate Walid Shoebat recently reported that Syrian rebels have been found to "cut hands, cut heads, [and] play with corpses" of their victims - he also noted that rebels killed a child and injured 61 others when they fired a rocket into a Damascus church.
Yet without regard for shocking accounts like these, Barack Obama, John Kerry, and interventionists in Congress like John McCain, support our furnishing the Syrian rebellion with the tools of war in addition to other non-lethal forms of aid (clothing, equipment, food, etc.).
Already this year, the U.S. Government provided the rebels with a shipment US-made TOW antitank missiles -- allegedly for the first time -- after having quietly opened the aid pipeline to Syrian extremists last fall.
Patriot, we need you to speak out today and start calling on Congress to stop this madness now… sign and send your no-cost petitions to your U.S. legislators here and look up your Representative and Senators' office information and start burning up the phone lines here.
A grassroots tide can and must stop further aid to Syrian radicals.
Take action: Demand Congress to PASS H.R. 2494 and S. 1201 to STOP Obama and his Administration from providing weapons and aid to the Syrian Rebels. No subsidizing radical Islamic terror.
