CNN just posted a story from Ben Wedeman about his experiences in Aleppo, Syria. Everything about this article screams we should not intervene. A favorite line - "We eventually drove to Salaheddine, one of the main rebel-government battlefields, where a rebel commander said fighters were preparing to lay down improvised explosive devices in anticipation of an advance by government tanks. A commander said these IEDs are being put together under the supervision of Syrians who learned how to make them while fighting Americans in Iraq."
Fantastic. These allies of ours learned their craft while trying to kill US military soldiers and contractors in Iraq.
What a horrible situation. Perhaps we should bugger out and let them figure out the issues on their own. What if we didn't support our former enemies. Lets play pretnd and say its 1945 and Obama is president. Does this mean Obama would have let Patton rearm the Nazis and invade Russia?
Ok, off soapbox. More to come. I've had a few interesting weeks of travel.
