So who the frick are we actually arming? All anyone ever says is "moderates." Spoiler alert: They don't exist. Obama might as well say he's arming the 37th Unicorn Brigade. Is he talking about the SRF, which just signed a ceasefire with ISIS in Damascus? The FSA, which just had its leadership sacked? The Kurds, who are awesome but limited to Hasakah and Kobane?

I'm not virulently anti-Obama, but this strategy will absolutely will a clusterfrick.

It's possible I misheard it or he misspoke, but if the game plan is basically to attack ISIS and Al Assad at the same time, we're being really foolish.
