The U.S. delivered part of an $8.6 million military aid package to Lebanon today including laser-guided artillery shells and Hellfire air-to-surface missiles. This amounts to a doubling of military aid to Lebanon.
The story from the Obama Administration is that these munitions are to help Lebanon's military defend the country’s eastern border from what the State Department referred to as "violent extremists."
Just one thing...speaking of violent extremists, there's a peculiar thing about Lebanon's Army. Like the rest of Lebanon's military, it is now totally integrated with Hezbollah. And it has been for years.
The armaments the Obama Administration is giving Lebanon will thus be freely available to Hezbollah and used against Israel when the time comes.That's why the Israelis made a formal announcement that if they were attacked from Lebanon again, unlike the last time they would consider it an attack on Israel by Lebanon, not just Hezbollah.
And it even gets worse than that.
Those extremists the Obama Administration is blathering about?A reasonable person might think that would include Jaish al-Fatah, the Army of Conquest. These are the so-called 'moderates' funded, armed and trained by President Obama in conjunction with Turkey, Qatar and the Saudis. Jaish al-Fatah is primarily composed of 'moderates' like Ahrar ash-Sham, an officially designated terrorist group and the al-Qaeda offshoot al-Nusrah.And they're right on Lebanon's border in Idlib province.
These are the same wonderful folks the Obama administration is complaining about Vladimir Putin conducting air strikes on:
“Greater than 90 percent of the strikes that we’ve seen them take to date have not been against ISIL or al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists,” said State Department spokesman John Kirby.
Al-Nusrah isn't affiliated with al-Qaedah? That's certainly not what they say. Read up on al-Nusrah and Ahrar ash-Sham. You'll quickly find out what kind of future these hard line Islamists want for Syria, and their differences with ISIS could basically be summed up by the phrase 'Who's going to be king of the mountain ?'
And by the way, this is exactly how ISIS was created...out of the Syrian Free Army funded, trained and armed by the Obama Administration, Turkey and Qatar.
What we have here is material aid to terrorism, something that is clearly against U.S. law except when President Obama does it. Even more, we're aiding both sides in this conflict who, whatever their differences hate us and have plenty of American blood on their hands.Our president's actions have already ensured that we lose out either way.
At least Russia's Vladimir Putin seems to know whose side he's on. And he seems to be actually taking on those 'Sunni extremists' and 'al-Qada affiliated terrorists' John Kirby was talking about.
As for me, I have to confess something. When my tax dollars are going to a government that funds groups that would happily murder me and my family let alone my friends in Israel, it is definitely food for thought.
Certainly I never want to hear this president or any of his minions talk about how they 'have Israel's back' when they're arming. training and funding genocidal terrorists.
Agree Rob. Obama is funding those who would slit our throats and enslave our children in a New York minute.
ReplyDeleteObama's openly arming enemies of America and Israel under the guise that the arms are to aid in protection of their Eastern border does not fly.
Even worse, it sends a message to Hezbollah that says, "You have our approval. Go get 'em boys."
