12 years after 9/11, Obama sends guns to al-Qaeda

WASHINGTON, September 12, 2013 — Today the United States is waking up to news that the first publicly acknowledged shipment of lethal aid has made its way to Syria. It comes as part of President Obama’s efforts to support the Syrian Opposition, and punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the alleged use of chemical weapons, the use of which violates a 1925 International Proclamation.

Before the 9/11 terror attacks, the United States was actively engaged in training and arming radical Islamist groups in the Middle East in order to undermine our enemies and supposedly support our national interests.

After the Towers fell, the Pentagon was damaged, and Flight 93 was downed, the United States realized that they could not support such extremist groups anymore. Instead, America began a global campaign to combat terrorism, and punish those responsible for the September 11 attacks.

12 years later, we are back to arming radical Muslims, having forgotten, with stunning speed, the lessons of the previous 30 years.
12 years later we have come full circle.

We all understand that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It served as the basis of our Cold War foreign policy stance towards revolutions and civil wars around the globe.

But when the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy, it would seem as though choices for options range between “absolutely not” and “this is a terrible idea.”

Does everyone understand what is going on? The United States, one day after the 12 year anniversary of the 9/11 Terror Attacks, has now contributed arms to the cause of those same people who perpetrated them. We are now actively supporting a terrorist network, not just a terrorist network, THE terrorist network. It has taken 12 years for the United States government to forget the names of those responsible for thousands of American dead, it has taken 12 years for the government to decide that those lives, and the sacrifice of thousands of service members do not matter anymore. This should hurt, and it should hurt a lot.

I understand perfectly.

Let me recite a few bullet points of my understanding:

The US government funds and supports terrorists.

The US government funded them before 9/11, and still does to this day.

The US government knew what was going to happen on 9/11, and willfully, with malice aforethought, did nothing to prevent it, in fact, in many ways, facilitated the event. This is in line with stated US Government doctrine going back for decades now. (See: NORTHWOODS PLAN for just one example of this)

This is not a government of, by and for the people any longer.

This government has declared never ending war on the world, and on us, the citizens of the US.

We are no longer a Free Republic.

We are the Evil Empire.

We support the terrorists, but we have to go through all that stupid security in the airports to keep "us" safe from the terrorists.

Conditioning...that is all that TSA at airports is about.

In 12 years, number of terrorists caught by TSA?

Zero.

It's to get used to government "officials" randomly searching you and your possessions.

You are right, Anti. And those terrorists who want to get through would be able to.

Citing the Evil Empire, protesters removed memorial flags from a 9/11 cemetery:

"...By removing the display of 2,977 flags, not only did the five protesters disrespect their fellow students who worked hard on setting up the display, but they also took away the chance for other students to remember the victims of the horrific attacks 12 years ago..."

The 9/11 anniversary occurs one day earlier in the Middle East.

And we have armed other terror groups in the region.
