Cleaning up John McCain's revolt against Assad.

It is unthinkable the USA would fund any rebels in Syria. The Free Syrian Army sold US munitions to ISIS. There are no rebel groups not somehow affiliated with IS/IS/L in Syria. The ONLY funding the US Congress should be supporting is humanitarian aid.

There is no group coming forward as an alternate authority to Assad that actually has control of the rebel forces. No one authority speaks for the rebels. 

If the USA sends more munitions into Syria it will be in violation of the Small Arms Convention.

Just because Russia is in violation of the Small Arms Treaty in Ukraine gives no meaning to the USA following such an example in Syria. Any arming of rebels in Syria will only result in nation building AGAIN. In the face of the fact Assad has been cooperative with UN Resolutions to date, especially that of chemical weapons, it is wrong to continue to fuel this civil war.

The US Congress is trying to save face while they confront completely failed foreign policy that has not only fueled war that kills innocent people, but, also establishes unsustainable nation building. They are playing USA politics with foreign lives for the sake of coming elections. They won't face facts, they will continue to kill overseas to maintain their electable status.

Russia's Putin is also attempting to save face by engaging in faux peace talks with Ukraine while the rebels are continuing to be armed. Putin's politics are deadly for both people and the regions economic stability.

In both cases, it is not the politics that should survive, but, the people, the stability of the region and sustainable economics.

The USA is wrong. Russia is wrong. AND. Israel is wrong. When are these nations going to face the truth rather than their own idea of the truth?
