Urgent: Ban US from spending money to arm Syrian rebels
mercredi 17 juillet 2013 à 14:00US citizens: ask your congresscritter to support an amendment to ban the US from spending Pentagon money to arm Syrian rebels.
A spending ban is not airtight. When Congress banned spending money to aid right-wing rebels in Nicaragua, Reagan arranged for private arms dealers to ransom American hostages by selling arms to their terrorist kidnappers, then used the "private" profits to fund those rebels. Obama might try the same thing.
Still, the spending ban is a good step forward.
