Remarks in Opposition to Authorizing the Arming and Training of FSA (Free Syrian Army)

September 17, 2014

Congressman McClintock today delivered the following House floor remarks in opposition to H.J. Res 124, to authorize the arming and training of the FSA (Free Syrian Army):

All of us recognize the threat posed to our nation by the Islamic State. The question before us is whether to arm and train supposedly vetted elements of the Free Syrian Army as a proxy ground force.

I respect the intentions of the supporters, but this proposal runs great risk of back-firing.

The FSA is a marriage of convenience among many Islamist factions that have a long history of collaborating with the Islamic State. The singular purpose of the FSA is NOT to destroy the Islamic State but to destroy the Syrian Government that is now actively fighting the Islamic State. The equipment we provide to the FSA could easily be turned against the Syrian government, weakening regional opposition to the I.S.

Or this equipment could be turned over to the Islamic State as we watched “carefully vetted” Iraqi Security Forces recently do. In fact, that’s the reason the Islamic State is armed to the teeth – with American equipment.

Neither we nor the world can afford any more blunders or miscalculations in this region. We should have learned by now that alliances in the Middle East are in constant flux – an ally today is a sworn enemy tomorrow – in fact, our allies often ARE our enemies.

After I was elected, the first young man from my district killed in Iraq, Army Specialist Jeremiah McCleery, died when “carefully vetted” Iraqi soldiers turned their weapons on him. The most recent fatality from my district, Marine Staff Sergeant Sky Mote, died when “carefully vetted” Afghan police turned their weapons on him.

Mr. Speaker, our consistent experience in this region should warn us that we are making a big mistake.

McClintock's great. He's not quite as good as Amash and Massie, but he's better than 99% of the House.

Yep... Tom McClintoch is the bomb... this truly shows you the deception of these globalist/war profiteers/security tyrants/NWO oligrachs. There is absolutely no way the clowns in Washington DC are vetting rebels in Syria. The Rebels already proved they're terrorist, when they used stolen chemical weapons(with Turkey's help) as a false flag against innocent Syrian civilians, then the US State Dept. and Washington DC went into their preplanned propaganda campaigned on "innocent civilians dead" . How about the 100s of times of 'GREEN ON BLUE' attacks in Afghanistan? What happened on screened and vetted rebels and foreign government military/agents? CIA agents dead, Generals dead, Americans dead... this is 100% pure lies and deceit by bought/bribed/coerced/blackmailed Capital Hill and White House politicians onto the unsuspecting American people.

The game plan from the very beginning was to overthrow Syria, Assad, and the government. The Propaganda and western funded terrorists have been at it for almost 4 years now and still surprised covert ops haven't ordered and distributed 10,000 FSA flags across Syria, just like they did when they overthrew Libya. Could post the General Wesley Clark speech from San Francisco on that "7 countries in 5 years' game plan.
