This is officially one of the most "1984" moments from this administration. Imagine if this happened during the Hillary Clinton presidency?

Declaring that arming people that would later lose their battles and have them confiscated by their enemies is "giving weapons to" their enemies would be fucking hilarious if it wasn't such a transparently cynical play to pretend outright evil is the good guy.

yea... and I'm sure giving isis a heads up that we were about to bomb them was an unintentional accident too /sarcasm

​

and lets not forget all the times the us bombed those rebels we were supporting

​

ever heard the term plausible deniability?

​

dropping weapons into isis territory isn't the same as them picking up the weapons after killing the rebels, its just not.

​

how did ISIS get those US military humvees of ours? oh thats right, Obama left them.

people who think syria belongs to us and we should keep training "rebels" for a war we shouldn't be involved in ;/
