Obama to step up military support of Syrian rebels [View all]

i just don't understand this. i think this is a huge mistake. and Kerry supports This ? since when and why ? i know Assad is a problem but the rebels are full of islamic extremists and they are raping women and cutting off the heads of boys .

i don't see how this can work in any way. i know we should try to do something but i just can't see how arming the rebels would do it. is the goal to try to even it out but without the rebels actually winning ?


<President Barack Obama has authorized sending weapons to Syrian rebels for the first time, U.S. officials said Thursday, after the White House disclosed that the United States has conclusive evidence Syrian President Bashar Assad's government has used chemical weapons against opposition forces trying to overthrow him.>
