YA RLY.
Jon Stewart said what I’ve been thinking. This arming of insurgents is rediculous. Aw, did we make them say they were sorry before handing them a crate of AK-47? Those weapons *will* be turned against us. They are not our friends and most certainly not our allies. Oooooh, they reject the Al Qaeda. Gee, thanks. Have some hand grenades, but promise you won’t use them against us. Notice in the article they drop a nice veiled threat too. “America, this alliance lasts as long as it takes to oust the Al Qaeda - then you better be gone!” Fuck that. We just armed the same chumps who were blowing us up last year.
This whole things reeks of the administration having no fucking idea how to fix the problem they got us in to. “So uh… we’ll arm these, uh, insurgents and they’ll fight with us… and stuff. Right? We’ll retinal scan them and… um… hey we can keep them under our thumb, right?”
Christ. We just ousted a tyrant that got his start the same way. The supposed mastermind behind 9/11 was trained by the CIA. These Muslim “enemies of our enemies” make *great* allies. Yea.

I’d like to go on record with my stance on foreign policy when it comes to the Middle East.
Remove all our troops. Invade Canada, take all their petroleum. They’re practically Americans anyways. :p
Tell Syria, Iran, Palestine, etc: “Here’s the deal, you nutters stick to killing each other. ‘Cuz the next time one of you jackasses blows something up in a Western Nation, we’re going to end you people - using up some of our paid off nuke-ular arsenal in the process.”
