(OZARK, MO) - Most Americans had never even heard of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's President, until Obama started ranting about chemical weapons. I talk to people frequently who still can't identify him by name. They are often dumbfounded when they learn that this country has done little to deserve its wrath from the western powers, with the USA in the lead. The Syrian rebels are far from rational, they are a sect of Islam that does not seek peace, nor do they accept a secular government like Assad's where Christians and Muslims and Jews lived peacefully together. Like Libya and Iraq, Syria wasnot dominated by a religious zealot.
In spite of this, US President Barack Obama is aligning with these forces; tied to the Wahhabi Saudis - who believe women should walk in tent-like burqas and be punished for "crimes" like driving a car. The very worst elements of Islam are the friends of the United States. Now we learn definitively that the US is supplying weapons to the so-called Syrian "rebels" and continuing to endanger and destabilize Syria so that radicals who uphold Sharia law with stones and bullets can be in charge.

The problem is that Syria's President is not fully demonized, as Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden were. Both Bush presidencies were used to fully propagandize these figures into full-blown evil villains when in fact, both had worked closely with the US as allies in previous years. But then all Middle eastern, Latin American and African national leaders know friendship with the US is something that never lasts long.
"... The CIA has been delivering weapons to rebels in Syria over the past two weeks, with contributions of vehicles and other equipment from the State Department, The Washington Post is reporting.
U.S. officials are hoping the donations will boost the muscle of the rebel fighters in Syria's 2 1/2-year civil war, according to the Post, which cited "U.S. officials and Syrian figures."
The Post says the effort is aimed at supporting rebel Gen. Salim Idriss, commander of the Supreme Military Council, a faction of the fractured opposition. The Post said some of its sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because part of the initiative is covert. ...".

The "Direct Sales Program" is a little known government program that has been underway for a number of years. Some of these weapons have been found in Syria as well as India and Libya.
