More CIA

This is either the leakiest US administration ever, or the powers of imperialism have simply decided that operating under silence and denying everything is no longer necessary. In any case it is pretty clear that the more we see events unfold in the Middle East, the more Iranian president Ahmadinejad with his claims of US intervention in it's internal affairs is made to be, well, true. The latest: Admission that the CIA is aiding the rebels in Syria.

A small number of C.I.A. officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey, helping allies decide which Syrian opposition fighters across the border will receive arms to fight the Syrian government, according to American officials and Arab intelligence officers.

Now I'd like to remind the reader of many Democrats who in the run-up to the 2008 election loved to talk about how we didn't want "McSame" in office. I suppose because it was better to have a Democrat in office than yet another Republican. I'll point out to the reader that it was just this week that McCain was blasting the Obama administration for not taking action in Syria, such as arming the rebels. Shall I assume then that "McSame" is OK with Democrats now?

Anyway. What pray tell are our tax dollars being spent on?

The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the officials said.

Wait wait wait. So the CIA is sending RPG's and the like to the Muslim Brotherhood? Does ANY of this sounds remotely familiar? Paid for by Turkey? *laughing out loud* Sure. If you say so.
