Is Obama performing background checks on the 'rebels' (al Qaeda) he's arming in Syria?

Who knows? The bastard has no problem arming terrorists who are killing innocent Orthodox Christians out there in the name of "a Christian nation." Even worse, where is the evidence that Assad used chemical weapons? There is not a bit of evidence at all that Assad's regime is responsible. CNN hired actors. For crying out loud, there is a video of the rebels preparing the weapons and admitting to it! Every international news source says that the rebels did it, but Obama is ignoring all of this and rushing into an unjust war like the Bush 2.0 that he did.

My family voted Hillary Clinton back in 2008; they're smart Democrats.

That's a religious question? Osama Bin Laden created the need for spying on citizens, not President Obama. He is trying to keep his people safe.

Ask the same question when gas is used on Americans in America

That would be too dangerous -- not to mention racial/ethnic profiling -- unless of course he only background checks the occasional little anglo girl he might find amongst them.

Dude you were all for US intervention a few days ago.

It would be sad if we created another MB situation.

Probably not.
