American Conservative,
Syria has been embroiled in a civil war since March, 2011 and now Obama wants the United States to intervene.
On June 14, the President said that he was prepared to arm the Syrian rebels in order to assist them in their overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad - a ruler who, Obama says, crossed a "red line" by deploying chemical weapons.
While Obama believes it is in America's interest to arm the rebel forces in Syria - the "Free Syrian Army" - this simply isn't true.
First and foremost, any action by Obama to arm any party in Syria - or anywhere - without Congressional approval is expressly prohibited by the Constitution. If the United States is to get involved in the Syrian Conflict then the People's Congress must make that decision, not the President alone.
Involvement in Syria is not just a constitutional question, though - it is a moral one, and one of common sense.
The fact is: If Obama provides arms and funds to the Free Syrian Army, he will be directly subsidizing terrorism and Christian genocide in a country nearly six-thousand miles away.
Is this how our tax dollars should be used? Never. Congress must act now!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Subsidizing Terrorism
The Free Syrian Army is comprised of ex-Syrian Armed Forces members and terrorists - ninety-five percent of whom are not even Syrian, according to international law professor Daoud Khairallah.
Jabhat al-Nusra, for example, a radical Salafist faction of the Free Syrian Army, originated in Iraq and is an arm of al-Qaeda.
Though al-Nusra refuses to acknowledge its true origins, the group has openly pledged allegiance to its Iraq parent, one responsible for killing Americans.
The federal government declared al-Nusra a terrorist entity in December of 2012.
Further confirming the rebels' ties with al-Qaeda, the Free Syrian Army's "Hawks of Damascus" employ a Bin-Laden Brigade in honor of their former leader.
While Sen. Bob Menendez claims that the rebels are fighting for a "Free Syria," what he fails to mention is that their goal is radical Sharia Law which directly threatens Christians, particular Muslim Sects, and seculars.
Even the New York Times recognizes the overt "religious agenda" of the rebels - the Times reported earlier this year that "nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of."
Barack Obama - along with Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Bob Menendez, and Bob Corker - wishes to directly provide "lethal assistance" to these Syrian terrorist rebels, from small arms to anti-aircraft devices. Moreover, while there are already at least 200 U.S. troops in Jordan postured to intervene in the Syrian Conflict, Obama may send an additional 20,000 U.S. soldiers.
The United States Congress must act right now and stop Obama from intervening in the Syrian Conflict - no funding or arming Syrian terrorists!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Subsidizing Christian Genocide
If the United States Congress doesn't act, Barack Obama will use tax dollars and American weapons to furnish the Free Syrian Army and their anti-Christian genocide.
Since the civil war began, at least 1,000 Syrian Christians have been killed by the very same people that Barack Obama and John McCain see as our "allies."
Near the city of Homs, the Free Syrian Army invaded the village of al-Duwayr and massacred a number of Christians - "where they immediately executed a man and his daughter in their
home and burned their bodies." "The fighters reportedly also occupied the village church from where snipers began firing at terrified civilians," reports BosLifeNews, "killing an- 11-year-old boy and a girl of 18, and injuring some 10 people, two seriously."
The Free Syrian Army's late-May attacks on Christian men, women, and children near Homs would have likely continued if it had not been for the intervention of the Syrian Army loyal to Bashar al Assad.
The Free Syrian Army's targeted killings has resulted in a mass exodus of Christians from Syria - as of now between 300,000 and 400,000 have fled the country.
According to a June WND report, the Syrian rebels give Christians the following options:
"1. renounce the ‘idolatry' of Christianity and convert to Islam; 2. pay a heavy tribute to the Muslims for the privilege of keeping their heads and their Christian faith (this tribute is known as jizya); 3. be killed; 4. flee for their lives, leaving all their belongings behind."
