More from the man-child who is in over his ears....

Remember how the moderate opposition would be good in Egypt...how did that work out? Or Libya? We're still trying to get back Gaddafi's SA-7s and SA-14s. And the Israel's are praying one of their airlines doesn't get shot down. Well, from the idiot who brought you those two disasters, we have Syria.
U.S. may use Saudis to arm Syrian rebels with missiles

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Barack Obama is weighing whether to allow shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles to be shipped to moderate factions of the Syrian opposition, possibly with help from the Saudi government, a U.S. official said Friday.

Obama “is considering” sending man-portable air defense systems, known as “manpads,” along with other supplies to help opposition groups fighting the brutal regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, said the official, who requested anonymity to talk about the internal White House discussions.

The Saudi government has long wanted to provide such armaments to bolster the Syrian opposition. The U.S. has opposed the move out of concern that the weapons could fall into the hands of extremists. Out of respect for Obama’s wishes, the Saudis have so far held off....

How did it ever get his bad. Hopefully this gets crushed.
