Syria Next

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The Obama administration says it will start aiding directly the so-called "Syrian opposition." The practical effect will be to provide assistance to al Qaeda and other Islamists that now dominate the groups seeking to bring down Syria's dictator, Bashir Assad. This folly comes as the abiding danger posed by al Qaeda was exposed yesterday by experts at the American Enterprise Institute.  Despite the President's insistence that the jihadist organization is "on the path to defeat," AEI's Katherine Zimmerman reported "al Qaeda is stronger at an operational level than it has been for many years." Every day brings fresh evidence that Mr. Obama made a serious mistake in helping bring Islamists to power in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.  We must not compound it by now doing so in Syria.
