Obama plays his cards in the ME, presses Congress to hand over $500 million to Syrian rebels

(Washington) In-between playing golf and going on holidays to Hawaii, it appears Barack Obama has a day job.

Apparently, he is the US President, and today, after months of deliberation, he has decided to act in Syria. Yup, he's asked Congress to OK the handing over of $500 million to the rebels fighting president Assad. You know, that President Assad who is currently winning against the insurgency inside Syria. Which kind of explains why ISIS terrorists have moved across the border into Iraq in which to continue their blood lust. The same US president, I should add, who hasn't bothered his arse in helping Iraq fight these blood thirsty thugs, and as such has seen Baghdad turn to Iran (troops and weapons) and Russia (the sale of jet aircraft, as the US are dragging out the handover of 16 F-16s Iraq bought in September 2011).

Gee, who needs enemies when you have a friend like... Obama.
