Let's put this in context.   Most of the Syrian “rebels” are Al Qaeda.  The U.S. government has designated these guys as terrorists.

Things are getting better, not worse:  Al Qaeda is gaining more and more power among the rebels.

And the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel  have been backing these guys for years.

  Indeed, we’ve long known that most of the weapons we’re shipping to Syria are ending up in the hands of Al Qaeda.

And they apparently have chemical weapons.

We're arming the same guys who are threatening to blow us up.

This is even stupider than creating Al Qaeda in the first place to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.  At least then, they didn't threaten America while we were arming them.
