Obama Waives Ban On Arming Terrorists To Allow Aid To Syrian ‘Opposition’

It’s official. Again. The Hussein Administration is now perfectly satisfied supporting death-loving kaffir-hating head-chopping prophet-worshipping Al Qaeda terrorists and all of their affiliates, if they can manage to somehow get weapons into the hands of the Syrian there’s-no-secular-fighting-force-to-speak-of opposition. Benghazi has taught this administration absolutely nothing. But how could it when only the teachable ever learn …

Proverbs 12:15a, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes …”

BY JOEL GEHRKE, Washington Examiner – “President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to ‘vetted’ opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad’s regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.

The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would ‘waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction.’

Those two sections prohibit sending weaponry to countries described in section 40(d): ‘The prohibitions contained in this section apply with respect to a country if the Secretary of State determines that the government of that country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism,’ Congress stated in the Arms Control Export Act.

‘For purposes of this subsection, such acts shall include all activities that the Secretary determines willfully aid or abet the international proliferation of nuclear explosive devices to individuals or groups or willfully aid or abet an individual or groups in acquiring unsafeguarded special nuclear material,’ the law continues.

The law allows the president to waive those prohibitions if he ‘determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States.’

Under section 40(g) of the AECA, the Obama team must also provide Congress — at least 15 days before turning over the weapons — ‘the name of any country involved in the proposed transaction, the identity of any recipient of the items to be provided pursuant to the proposed transaction, and the anticipated use of those items,’ along with a list of the weaponry to be provided, when they will be delivered, and why the transfer is key to American security interests.” Read more.
