WTF: Same Politicians Who Attack Gun Rights In America Want to Arm Syrian Rebels
(Editor’s Note: The very same politicians who have made it a mission in their lives to disarm Americans and circumvent the 2nd amendment are now talking about arming rebels in Syria in an effort to undermine the country’s leadership and to purportedly help liberate yet another nation of enslaved citizens.)
The United States appeared to open the door to eventually arming Syria’s opposition, saying that if a political solution to the crisis was impossible it might have to consider other options.
The comments, made by officials at both the White House and the U.S. State Department on Tuesday, marked a shift in emphasis by Washington, which so far has stressed a policy of not arming the opposition and has said little about alternatives.
In Syria on Tuesday, activists said President Bashar al-Assad’s forces killed more than 60 people in attacks on villages and an artillery barrage on the restive city of Homs. The Red Cross called for daily ceasefires to allow in urgently needed aid.
“We still believe that a political solution is what’s needed in Syria,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
“We don’t want to take actions that would contribute to the further militarisation of Syria, because that could take the country down a dangerous path. But we don’t rule out additional measures.”
