Obama waives anti-terrorism provisions to arm Syrian rebels

The Obama administration waived provisions of a federal law which ban the supply of weapons and money to terrorists. The move is opening doors to supplying Syrian opposition with protection from chemical weapons.

The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) allows the US president to waive provisions in Sections 40 and 40A, which forbid providing munitions, credit and licenses to countries supporting acts of terrorism. But those prohibitions can be waived "if the President determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States."

President Barrack Obama ordered such a waiver for supplying chemical weapons-related assistance to "select vetted members" of Syrian opposition forces, the administration announced on Monday.

Obama can't wait to start arming the Muslim Brothahood.

...The president of the United States has the authority to waive the restrictions if he “determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States.”

It is unclear how arming the Syrian rebels could possibly be interpreted as “essential to the national security interests of the United States.” However, Obama is making the case that Assad having chemical weapons is a nation security threat to the U.S.

The Blaze

Beck made a pretty good argument this morning that this is tantamount to an admission of Treason on the part of Obama.  He wouldn't be waiving these provisions if he didn't think that supplying military hardware to provable al Qaeda terrorists would normally land his ass in the brig for doing so.

If there was anyone with big enough balls to challenge him, that is. I'm sick of hearing 'treason" with no action.

Agreed.  You and I both know that it ain't happening with the crop of craven reprobates, frauds and hucksters currently slithering their way through the halls of Congress.

So, according to the Empty Suit in the White House, Syrians are killing Syrians. Now, to stop Syrians from killing Syrians, we are demanding that the Syrians relinquish the weapons they are using to kill Syrians with. While we are trying to get the weapons from the Syrians so they can't use them to kill Syrians, the Empty Suit in the White House, thinking he's above the law, is providing Syrians with weapons to kill Syrians.

Do I have that correct?

Obama is more Muslim than American.  Using children to fight wars is okay with him.
