Johnny McCain: "I Would Be Launching Airstrikes Not Only In Iraq, But In Syria Against ISIS."

28. Yes we were supporting them, and we knew it. Just as we supported Al Queda in Libya and we knew it.

The stupid thinking is 'get it done by whatever means, then we can deal with the undesirables later'. The enemy of our enemy is TEMPORARILY our friend, until we get what we want. But it never happens that way, does it? Look at Libya, and Afghanistan and everywhere else where these foolish tactics are employed.

It was the reason the UK finally backed away from arming 'rebels'. I guess their long history of Imperialism gives them a bit more perspective on these things, not much, but at least with Syria, as one member of Parliament said 'We are arming people who, if they lived HERE, would be under constant surveillance'.

But those of us who see these things, saw them back in 2003 and since then, get tired of saying 'we told you so', now with Libya also. Because by the time we get to say that, so many have tragically died, been tortured, had their countries destroyed etc.

The solution is to put those who DO see clearly from the beginning, in Power for a change and then maybe we will see some progress over the next century or so.
