Syrians
Aiding islamic terrorists is never an option.
Actually I think President Obama, should listen to Vladimir Putin regarding this decision. From previous observations, I've noticed the connection between Republicans, the Military Industrial Complex and Big Oil, all pushing for Wars that weren't needed and pushed through via lies and propaganda. This one in particular we would be arming the same people who would gladly turn our the weapons we supply them with on us. Senator McCain acted thoroughly opposed to the, Fast and Furious a( Bush Program that gave guns to Mexicans drug cartels that in inadvertently resulted in the death of two border patrol agents and has dogged Eric Holder, because of republican two faced hypocrisies) Now McCain can't wait to arm and help terrorist groups over throw a government and they will without a doubt use any weapons they have to kill USA citizens, if given the chance. That is why I have to trust Putin a heck of lot more than our own Republicans. After the Boston Marathon Bombing,we learned Putin warned the USA intelligence agencies about the terrorist, and our intelligence agencies failed a proper evaluation of the terrorist(letting a twenty six year old boxer out wit them), well some credibility is certainly due Putin . After the Iraq War that Bush and Cheney manufactured all the reasons for I can safely say I trust Putin more than the Republican. You could say our biggest enemy lies within and I rather see the President doing something about that, instead of arming terrorists of either side. Take that money Republicans want to spend on Syria and build windmills.
NO AID,give the help to the people in the USA that are LEGAL CITIZENS.Those countries and their people hate us so let them kill each other.Jim Thomas Phx.Az.
