From some of the reports I have read, some of the "rebel" fighters that are fighting against Assad and his forces in Syria are members of Al Qaeda? So if we decide to bomb Assad's munitions plants and airports, does that help Al Qaeda?
After 12 years of fighting Al Qaeda in the "war on terror", are we now on the side of the "rebels" in Syria? Isn't it a little strange how we choose our allies?
