Where do you stand on Syria? [View all]

If the US gives weapons to the rebels then a branch of Al Quaida might get some of them. We may be giving aid to terrorists ...so who in the US will go to prison for that? If any of us did that you know what would happen. It pretty bad when even Rand Paul is against giving weapons to the rebels. He is making any Dems that are for arming the rebels look like stupid asscarrots. Well ok some Dems don't need Rand to make them look stupid ...they are doing that all by themselves.

<>The legislation, which would authorize the shipment of arms and military training to rebels "that have gone through a thorough vetting process," passed in a bipartisan 15-3 vote. Paul offered an amendment that would strike the bill's weapons provision, but it was rejected along with another Paul amendment ruling out the authorization of the use of military force in Syria. (Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy was the only senator to join Paul in support of the weapons amendment.)
