House passes measure allowing Obama to arm Syrian rebels…

This is a terrible idea:

WAPO – The House on Wednesday approved President Obama’s plan to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to counter the growing threat of the Islamic State terrorist organization even though lawmakers in both parties remain deeply skeptical about its chances for success.

The Senate is expected to give the plan final approval Thursday.

The Syrian rebels are not moderates, they are simply the enemies of ISIS and Assad right now. They are also our enemies and they will eventually fight us somewhere. Training them and arming them will not end well for us.
