weapons in a manner that is not agreementable and potentially use them against us if they in fact win. if we arm them it is to bring stability. obviously the syrian government is winning it appears and moving forward and recanturing the sites that were lost. but, president assad needs to go. there is a world effort. but if you don t get putin involved and get iran out of the way, it will be problematic for many more months. you are walking a dangerous path when you arm the rebels. we don t know if they will use the weapons against us at some point and you are dealing with unknowns at the moment. it is a problem. we missed the boat on this one and should have established a no-fly zone to allow the syrian rebels and people of syria.
