There are no fewer than two former U.S. Air Force pilots in the U.S. Congress who couldn’t be more wrong about America’s enemies. One is Senator John McCain, who blindly supports Syria’s rebels and the Muslim Brotherhood. The other is Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) who, despite his obvious intelligence and patriotism does not have the eyes to see the real enemy.
As is the case with McCain, Kinzinger appears to have been charmed and taken in by the exact same executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) McCain traveled to Syria with last year – Mouaz Moustafa. An article by Josh Rogin at the Daily Beast that focuses on the proximity of rebel camps to ISIS camps and the subsequent risk that comes with such an arrangement, includes the following excerpt:
Last week, Moustafa’s group brought a delegation of congressmen and congressional staffers who support arming the Free Syrian Army to the Turkey-Syria border and met with leaders of over a dozen Free Syrian Army brigades in the Turkish border city of Gaziantep.
After meeting with the rebel brigade leaders, Republican lawmaker Adam Kinzinger told The Daily Beast that the U.S. must speed up the training and equipping of the Free Syrian Army brigades that have been vetted.
Rogin refers to another group to which Moustafa belongs – United for a Free Syria (UFS). Dr. Yahya Basha, who sits on the Board of the SETF is listed as Chairman of the Board of UFS. As Shoebat.com has reported, Basha has extensive connections to Muslim Brotherhood front groups and was once the President of the now defunct American Muslim Council, founded by convicted terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi.

Navy … not Air Force.
Does that dude know he’s got a python around his neck?
McCain was a Navy aviator, a poor one.
If his father and g/father had not been admirals, he would have been a washout in flight school.
I once worked for a retired Navy captain, he thought McCain was a POS.
Low watt McCain will try anything to give another country to ‘fundamentalists’ while drilling for another Arab Spring. Listen Johnny…Lindsey Graham’s desk is right behind you in the chamber. Get back to playing Brokeback Senator and lie low jerk.
Will they do background checks on the lads they are issuing weapons to?
@MoeTom – dude! You owe me a new keyboard. I just sprayed coffee outta my nose all over it.
I remember reading McCain’s autobiography. I think I recall that he graduated DFL in his class at Canoe U. (Dead. Fucking. Last.) Granted, even DFL at Canoe U means you gotta be smarter than the average bear. But what little intelligence he had, the damn North Vietnamese took care of that when they dropped him on his head one too many times.
nah, Mr. Shoebat, he’s just a friggin dumbass!!
third from the bottom in his class
