We're Going the Wrong Way *...
Obama backs U.S. military training for Syrian rebels
For the first time, the administration asks Congress to authorize and fund direct military training for the opposition.
Money for the program would total $500 million and would expand a current CIA covert training program. It is included in a $65.8 billion request for Overseas Contingency Operations.

The administration has said repeatedly in recent weeks that it was preparing additional assistance to vetted “moderate” opposition forces who are fighting both the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and al-Qaeda-linked militants who have now spread their area of control across the Syrian border into Iraq.
In for a penny, in for a pound, they say.
So glad to hear too that we've covertly "vetted" the recipients of our military aid and weaponry.
If we're going to arm the ... "opposition", and now we're going to "train" them, it's good to know we're not really intervening nor prolonging the pain.
Think of it as ... helping.
Helping secure the peace.
Region build...
No really.
Surely they'll win -- the "opposition" -- if we just pump enough resources and money into the mix. Just like our public schools here at home.
Besides, a good world war might just be what the American economy needs right now, no?
