[go west young man]

181. Here's a few things directly from Janes you won't have to cast off as right wing tripe.

As you once again attack the source/messenger but fail to refute the info gleaned from within.

The above link includes the following:

In a video statement released to Al-Jazeera on 22 November, Suqor al-Sham leader Ahmed Abu Issa al-Sheikh announced the formation of Al-Jabha al-Islamiyya (or the Islamic Front) by way of the complete merger of his group with Harakat Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyya, Liwa al-Tawhid, Jaish al-Islam, Jabhat al-Kurdiyya, Kataib Ansar al-Sham, and Liwa al-Haq.

In an accompanying statement, Al-Jabha al-Islamiyya asserted that it represented "an independent military and social force that is aimed at bringing down [President Bashar al-] Assad's regime in Syria and at replacing it with an Islamic state." The merger of the front's seven constituent groups means Al-Jabha al-Islamiyya will operate in at least 13 of Syria's 14 governorates, with IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre estimating that the front commands a total armed force of at least 50,000 fighters.



Now please do tell how the US will be better served by that scenario? Personally I'm against all war. But as you seem to believe that Obama's support of these fighters is in the best interest of the US please elaborate as to how the above situation is to our benefit. I'm pretty sure you won't answer the question directly. As you can't without losing this debate.
