[YouTube autogenerated] Transcript 00:00 mr. president I rise today to express my 00:04 strong concern about President Obama's 00:07 decision to arm the rebels in Syria that 00:11 decision was signaled last week by 00:13 deputy national security advisor Ben 00:15 Rhodes according to mr. Rhodes the 00:19 United States will start supplying arms 00:21 to selected rebel groups now I fully 00:25 understand the seriousness of the 00:27 situation in Syria Bashar al-assad is a 00:31 brutal dictator Syria has been on the 00:34 State Department's state sponsor of 00:36 terrorism list since 1979 for two years 00:40 this brutal civil war has raged leaving 00:44 at least 93,000 dead 100 reportedly from 00:49 chemical weapons attack the humanitarian 00:52 situation in Syria is a calamity 00:55 millions of people have been displaced 00:58 Iran and Russia stand to gain a major 01:01 strategic victory if Assad remains in 01:03 power and we have to be concerned about 01:06 the danger this war poses to our allies 01:09 Israel and Jordan all Americans would 01:13 like to see secular democracy minded 01:15 forces in Syria come to power but 01:18 President Obama's failed policies over 01:21 the last two years have left us with no 01:23 good options at this time in the 01:26 beginning of the uprising there was a 01:28 moment when the peaceful protesters 01:30 could have used the vocal energetic 01:32 support of the United States instead the 01:35 Obama administration stood by for months 01:38 apparently in the hopes that they could 01:40 make Assad see reason before long 01:44 military hostilities broke out but 01:46 President Obama chose not to act hoping 01:49 instead to lead from behind and the 01:53 course of the war Assad has benefited 01:55 from weapons from Iran and Russia and 01:58 from fighters from Hezbollah are 02:01 repeated entreaties to the Russians to 02:03 help us resolve this crisis have fallen 02:05 on deaf ears most recently this week 02:08 when President Obama tempted to reach a 02:10 diplomatic solution with President Putin 02:12 just to have 02:13 him once again refused to be a good 02:16 faith partner that the administration 02:18 seems to think he could be meanwhile the 02:22 most effective organized Syrian rebels 02:24 are affiliated with al-qaeda there are 02:27 two main al-qaeda entities active in 02:30 Syria how about al-nusrah and the 02:33 resurgent al-qaeda in iraq while recent 02:37 plans to merge them a founder they are 02:39 both powerful and well-armed in recent 02:43 weeks a training video has been posted 02:45 on an al-qaeda website showing young 02:48 rebel recruits in Syria singing not only 02:52 about overthrowing Assad but about how 02:54 quote the World Trade Center was turned 02:58 into rubble to commemorate the 65th 03:02 anniversary of the founding of Israel on 03:04 june sixth al-qaeda leader Ayman 03:07 al-zawahiri released a video calling for 03:10 Syrians to unite to bring down the Assad 03:13 government and to create a radical 03:16 Islamic state on jun 9th Zawahiri posted 03:21 a letter on al-jazeera announcing that 03:23 Habad al-nusrah would be acting on his 03:26 direct orders as many of seven of the 03:30 nine rebel groups that have been 03:32 identified may have ties to al-qaeda and 03:35 yet these murky connections make them 03:38 all the more difficult to properly vet 03:40 and as is normally the case what 03:44 al-qaeda moves in more and more stories 03:47 are spreading about the desecration of 03:49 churches kidnappings rapes and the 03:52 headings these forces are engaged in a 03:56 deadly struggle with the Assad regime 03:58 and President Obama has chosen this 04:01 moment to signal that it is now suddenly 04:04 in our vital national security interests 04:06 to intervene in Syria it seems far more 04:10 likely a recipe for disaster we are told 04:15 that the United States will provide only 04:17 small arms and ammunition and only to 04:19 the more secular democracy minded rebels 04:22 and that they will not fall into the 04:24 hands of those who attacked us on 04:26 September 11 04:27 not to mention more recently in Fort 04:30 Hood Benghazi and Boston although there 04:34 are no details as to how the president 04:35 plans to differentiate between good and 04:38 bad actors even if we could clearly 04:42 identify the good rebels so to speak we 04:46 would be banking the weakest of the 04:48 factions in Syria and the support the 04:50 Obama administration has proposed will 04:52 not be sufficient to bring down Assad 04:54 and put them in power once committed to 04:57 this path we risk either being forced to 05:00 incrementally increase our support or 05:04 facing the humiliation of losing to 05:07 either al Qaeda groups or Assad or both 05:10 which would delight both Iran and Russia 05:13 we could also see the factions of the 05:16 Opposition use our weapons to turn on 05:19 each other and see Assad triumph in the 05:22 chaos it is far from clear we can even 05:26 get the weapons to the so-called good 05:28 rebels even if we could figure out who 05:31 that who they were President Obama has 05:34 just announced another three hundred 05:35 million dollars in humanitarian aid for 05:38 Syria but only about half of the aid 05:41 already pledged has been delivered the 05:43 other half hasn't because of logistical 05:45 issues and the challenges of keeping 05:47 these resources out of the hands of bad 05:49 actors how on earth can we expect to 05:52 deliver guns if we can't even get MREs 05:55 into the country regardless let me 05:59 suggest a simple rule don't give weapons 06:03 to people who hate us don't give weapons 06:07 who peak to people who want to kill us 06:10 u.s. foreign policy should be directed 06:13 at one central purpose protecting the 06:16 vital national security interest of the 06:18 United States arming potential al-qaeda 06:21 rebels is not furthering their those 06:24 interests but there is something that is 06:27 preventing Syria's large stockpile 06:30 stockpile of chemical weapons from 06:33 falling into the hands of terrorists we 06:36 know that Assad has used these weapons 06:37 and there is good reason to suspect that 06:40 the al-qaeda 06:41 affiliated rebels would use them as well 06:43 if they could get their hands on it this 06:45 poses an intolerable threat not only to 06:48 our friends in the region but also to 06:49 the United States we need to be 06:52 developing right now a clear practical 06:55 plan to go in locate the weapons secure 06:58 or destroy them and then get out we 07:01 might work in concert with our allies 07:04 but this needs to be an operation driven 07:07 by the mission not by a coalition the 07:10 United States should be firmly in the 07:12 lead to make sure the job is done right 07:15 but our British allies for example are 07:18 actively bolstering the units that could 07:20 be used for chemical weapons removal 07:22 President Obama needs to assure us that 07:25 the dangerous arbitrary cuts to our 07:27 defense budget caused by sequester have 07:30 not eroded our ability to execute this 07:32 vital mission but news reports suggest 07:35 that what planning has gone on involves 07:39 outsourcing parts of this work to the 07:42 rebel groups mr. president this makes no 07:44 sense moreover it is deeply disturbing 07:50 that President Obama has chosen not to 07:53 communicate his decision directly to 07:55 Congress or the American people and I 07:58 would note communicating not through a 08:00 junior staffer not through a 08:02 spokesperson but himself to the American 08:05 people according to a Pew poll taken 08:08 over the weekend seventy percent of 08:11 americans oppose arming the syrian 08:13 rebels quite sensibly in a case where 08:17 his policy is so at odds with the will 08:20 of the people it's beholdin on the 08:21 president to make his case and to 08:24 persuade us that this proposed 08:26 intervention is necessary but just 08:30 yesterday in his long speech on national 08:32 security at the brandenburg gate 08:35 president obama did not even mention his 08:38 planned intervention in syria he told us 08:41 that he is a quote citizen of the world 08:45 but he is also president of the united 08:48 states and he owes the American people 08:51 and explanation President Obama needs to 08:54 explain 08:55 I arming the Syrian rebels is now worth 08:57 our intervention when it wasn't two 08:59 years ago he needs to explain how he is 09:03 established which rebels are the 09:05 appropriate recipients of this support 09:06 he needs to explain how this limited 09:10 support will make a material difference 09:12 in Syria and he needs to assure us that 09:15 his team is proactively planning to 09:18 protect our national security by keeping 09:20 Syria's chemical weapons out of the 09:23 hands of either Hezbollah or al-qaeda 09:25 but we don't know any of these specifics 09:27 we are apparently just supposed to trust 09:30 the president to manage Syria policy 09:32 more effectively than he has over the 09:35 last two years and more effectively that 09:38 he has managed events in Iran Libya and 09:40 Egypt during the Green Revolution in 09:43 2009 the Obama administration stood by 09:47 and allowed the Supreme Leader of Iran 09:49 to brutally suppress his people as they 09:52 protested in the streets four years 09:54 later we have just witnessed the 09:56 installation of the Supreme Leader's 09:59 most recent selection for president of 10:01 Iran a man whom some of the mainstream 10:04 media refer to as a quote moderate but a 10:07 man who is referred to Israel as quote 10:10 the great Zionist Satan and who vows to 10:14 continue Iran's nuclear program that's 10:18 some moderate during the uprising in 10:22 tahrir square cairo president obama 10:25 cheered on the demonstrators but refused 10:27 to take a leading role in helping egypt 10:30 make the difficult transition to 10:32 democracy opening the door to a Muslim 10:35 Brotherhood regime that is now taking 10:37 systematic steps to hollow out that 10:40 country's fragile Constitution while 10:42 turning a blind eye to the persecution 10:44 of Christians and the discrimination 10:47 against women and just like the rebels 10:50 in Syria President Obama is also working 10:53 to arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt 10:57 during the revolution in Libya President 11:01 Obama decided removing moammar qaddafi 11:03 was a vital national security issue and 11:05 he participated in NATO's mission to 11:08 overturn 11:08 him but his strategy of leading from 11:12 behind meant Qadhafi's weapons 11:14 stockpiles went unsecured and had been 11:17 transferred to militants from lebanon 11:19 Damali the new government in Libya 11:22 however well-intentioned proved 11:25 incapable of managing the security 11:28 threat from terrorist militias in the 11:29 country and nine months ago tragically 11:32 for US personnel were brutally murdered 11:35 in a terrorist attack an attack that we 11:38 have yet to track down and punish any of 11:42 the terrorists who killed our personnel 11:44 in Benghazi and with this track record 11:48 of incoherent and indecisive action 11:51 resulting in setback after setback to 11:53 the United States we are supposed to 11:56 just trust President Obama to do a 11:59 better job managing the situation in 12:01 Syria seems to me that if we are 12:04 determined to confront Iraq's or rather 12:07 Iran's nuclear program we would do so 12:10 better in Iran even if Hezbollah is 12:14 defeated in Syria there is little 12:17 prospect that this would halt Iran's 12:19 nuclear program I'm also concerned about 12:23 our ability to successfully negotiate 12:25 what seems to have become a Sunni Shiite 12:28 civil war in Syria it seems to me we 12:31 have no business in the middle of such a 12:33 civil war from what we know of the 12:36 president's policy it seems we are 12:37 backing into an intractable crisis where 12:41 there are no good actors but plenty of 12:43 bad outcomes for America mr. president 12:46 let me close with this two simple 12:48 observations number one don't arm 12:52 al-qaeda don't arm those who hate us 12:56 don't arm those who want to kill us that 13:00 is basic common sense and number two 13:02 when it comes to matters of vital 13:05 national security the President of the 13:07 United States needs to come to the 13:09 American people we the people hold 13:11 sovereignty in this country and it is 13:13 not acceptable for the president simply 13:15 to send out staffers to pass on his 13:17 decision he needs to come before 13:19 Congress and the American people 13:22 and explain those decisions all of us 13:25 have deep concerns about arming the 13:27 rebels in Syria and I hope that the 13:30 administration will reconsider its 13:31 policy Thank You mr. president Improved transcript: 00:00 (person coughs in the background) Mr. President, I rise today to express my 00:04 strong concern about President Obama's 00:07 decision to arm the rebels in Syria. That 00:11 decision was signaled last week by 00:13 deputy National Security Advisor Ben 00:15 Rhodes. According to Mr. Rhodes the 00:19 United States will start supplying arms 00:21 to selected rebel groups. Now I fully 00:25 understand the seriousness of the 00:27 situation in Syria. Bashar al-Assad is a 00:31 brutal dictator. Syria has been on the 00:34 State Department's state sponsor of 00:36 terrorism list since 1979. For two years 00:40 this brutal civil war has raged, leaving 00:44 at least 93,000 dead, 100 reportedly from 00:49 chemical weapons attack. The humanitarian 00:52 situation in Syria is a calamity. 00:55 Millions of people have been displaced, 00:58 Iran and Russia stand to gain a major 01:01 strategic victory if Assad remains in 01:03 power. And we have to be concerned about 01:06 the danger this war poses to our allies 01:09 Israel and Jordan. All Americans would 01:13 like to see secular democracy minded 01:15 forces in Syria come to power, but 01:18 President Obama's failed policies over 01:21 the last two years have left us with no 01:23 good options at this time. In the 01:26 beginning of the uprising there was a 01:28 moment when the peaceful protesters 01:30 could have used the vocal energetic 01:32 support of the United States. Instead the 01:35 Obama administration stood by for months 01:38 apparently in the hopes that they could 01:40 make Assad see reason. Before long 01:44 military hostilities broke out, but 01:46 President Obama chose not to act, hoping 01:49 instead to lead from behind. In the 01:53 course of the war Assad has benefited 01:55 from weapons from Iran and Russia, and 01:58 from fighters from Hezbollah. Our 02:01 repeated entreaties to the Russians to 02:03 help us resolve this crisis have fallen 02:05 on deaf ears. Most recently this week 02:08 when President Obama attempted to reach a 02:10 diplomatic solution with President Putin 02:12 just to have 02:13 him once again refuse to be a good 02:16 faith partner that the administration 02:18 seems to think he could be. Meanwhile the 02:22 most effective organized Syrian rebels 02:24 are affiliated with Al-Qaeda. There are 02:27 two main Al-Qaeda entities active in 02:30 Syria: Jabhat al-Nusra and the 02:33 resurgent Al-Qaeda in Iraq. While recent 02:37 plans to merge them have foundered, they are 02:39 both powerful and well-armed. In recent 02:43 weeks a training video has been posted 02:45 on an Al-Qaeda website showing young 02:48 rebel recruits in Syria singing, not only 02:52 about overthrowing Assad, but about how 02:54 quote "the World Trade Center was turned 02:58 into rubble." To commemorate the 65th 03:02 anniversary of the founding of Israel on 03:04 June sixth, Al-Qaeda leader Ayman 03:07 al-Zawahiri released a video calling for 03:10 Syrians to unite to bring down the Assad 03:13 government and to create a radical 03:16 Islamic state. On June 9th, Zawahiri posted 03:21 a letter on Al Jazeera announcing that 03:23 Jabhat al-Nusra would be acting on his 03:26 direct orders. As many of seven of the 03:30 nine rebel groups that have been 03:32 identified may have ties to Al-Qaeda, and 03:35 yet these murky connections make them 03:38 all the more difficult to properly vet. 03:40 And as is- as is normally the case when 03:44 Al-Qaeda moves in, more and more stories 03:47 are spreading about the desecration of 03:49 churches, kidnappings, rapes, and 03:52 beheadings. These forces are engaged in a 03:56 deadly struggle with the Assad regime 03:58 and President Obama has chosen this 04:01 moment to signal that it is now suddenly 04:04 in our vital national security interests 04:06 to intervene in Syria. It seems far more 04:10 likely a recipe for disaster. We are told 04:15 that the United States will provide only 04:17 small arms and ammunition, and only to 04:19 the more secular democracy minded rebels. 04:22 And that they will not fall into the 04:24 hands of those who attacked us on 04:26 September 11th, 04:27 not to mention more recently in Fort 04:30 Hood, Benghazi, and Boston. Although there 04:34 are no details as to how the president 04:35 plans to differentiate between good and 04:38 bad actors. Even if we could clearly 04:42 identify the good rebels, so to speak, we 04:46 would be backing the weakest of the 04:48 factions in Syria and the support the 04:50 Obama administration has proposed will 04:52 not be sufficient to bring down Assad 04:54 and put them in power. Once committed to 04:57 this path we risk either being forced to 05:00 incrementally increase our support, or 05:04 facing the humiliation of losing to 05:07 either Al-Qaeda groups or Assad or both, 05:10 which would delight both Iran and Russia. 05:13 We could also see the factions of the 05:16 Opposition use our weapons to turn on 05:19 each other, and see Assad triumph in the 05:22 chaos. It is far from clear we can even 05:26 get the weapons to the so-called good 05:28 rebels, even if we could figure out who 05:31 they- who they were. President Obama has 05:34 just announced another three hundred 05:35 million dollars in humanitarian aid for 05:38 Syria, but only about half of the aid 05:41 already pledged has been delivered the 05:43 other half hasn't because of logistical 05:45 issues and the challenges of keeping 05:47 these resources out of the hands of bad 05:49 actors. How on earth can we expect to 05:52 deliver guns if we can't even get MREs 05:55 into the country? Regardless, let me 05:59 suggest a simple rule: don't give weapons 06:03 to people who hate us. Don't give weapons 06:07 who peop- to people who want to kill us. 06:10 U.S. foreign policy should be directed 06:13 at one central purpose: protecting the 06:16 vital national security interest of the 06:18 United States. Arming potential Al-Qaeda 06:21 rebels is not furthering their- those 06:24 interests. But there is something that is: 06:27 preventing Syria's large stocktile- 06:30 stockpile of chemical weapons from 06:33 falling into the hands of terrorists. We 06:36 know that Assad has used these weapons, 06:37 and there is good reason to suspect that 06:40 the Al-Qaeda 06:41 affiliated rebels would use them as well, 06:43 if they could get their hands on 'em. (person coughs in the background) This 06:45 poses an intolerable threat not only to 06:48 our friends in the region but also to 06:49 the United States. We need to be 06:52 developing right now a clear practical 06:55 plan to go in, locate the weapons, secure 06:58 or destroy them, and then get out. We 07:01 might work in concert with our allies, 07:04 but this needs to be an operation driven 07:07 by the mission, not by a coalition. The 07:10 United States should be firmly in the 07:12 lead to make sure the job is done right, (person clears throat in the background) 07:15 but our British allies for example are 07:18 actively bolstering the units that could 07:20 be used for chemical weapontry removal. 07:22 President Obama needs to assure us that 07:25 the dangerous arbitrary cuts to our 07:27 defense budget caused by sequester have 07:30 not eroded our ability to execute this 07:32 vital mission, but news reports suggest 07:35 that what planning has gone on involves 07:39 outsourcing parts of this work to the 07:42 rebel groups. Mr. President this makes no 07:44 sense. Moreover, it is deeply disturbing 07:50 that President Obama has chosen not to 07:53 communicate his decision directly to 07:55 Congress or the American people, and I 07:58 would note communicating not through a 08:00 junior staffer, not through a 08:02 spokesperson, but himself to the American 08:05 people. According to a Pew poll taken 08:08 over the weekend seventy percent of 08:11 Americans oppose arming the Syrian 08:13 rebels, quite sensibly.

President Obama needs to 08:54 explain 08:55 why arming the Syrian rebels is now worth 08:57 our intervention, when it wasn't two 08:59 years ago. He needs to explain how he has 09:03 established which rebels are the 09:05 appropriate recipients of this support. 09:06 He needs to explain how this limited 09:10 support will make a material difference 09:12 in Syria.

That's 10:18 some moderate. During the uprising in 10:22 Tahrir Square, Cairo, President Obama 10:25 cheered on the demonstrators but refused 10:27 to take a leading role in helping Egypt 10:30 make the difficult transition to 10:32 democracy: opening the door to a Muslim 10:35 Brotherhood regime that is now taking 10:37 systematic steps to hollow out that 10:40 country's fragile Constitution, while 10:42 turning a blind eye to the persecution 10:44 of Christians and the discrimination 10:47 against women. And just like the rebels 10:50 in Syria President Obama is also working 10:53 to arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. 10:57 During the revolution in Libya President 11:01 Obama decided removing Muammar Gaddafi 11:03 was a vital national security issue and 11:05 he participated in NATO's mission to 11:08 overturn 11:08 him, but his strategy of leading from 11:12 behind meant Gaddafi's weapons 11:14 stockpiles went unsecured and had been 11:17 transferred to militants from Lebanon 11:19 to Mali. The new government in Libya, 11:22 however well-intentioned, proved 11:25 incapable of managing the security 11:28 threat from terrorist militias in the 11:29 country. And nine months ago, tragically, 11:32 four US personnel were brutally murdered 11:35 in a terrorist attack, an attack that we 11:38 have yet to track down and punish any of 11:42 the terrorists who killed our personnel 11:44 in Benghazi. And with this track record 11:48 of incoherent and indecisive action 11:51 resulting in setback after setback to 11:53 the United States, we are supposed to 11:56 just trust President Obama to do a 11:59 better job managing the situation in 12:01 Syria? Seems to me that if we are 12:04 determined to confront Iraq's or it- rather 12:07 Iran's nuclear program we would do so 12:10 better in Iran. Even if Hezbollah is 12:14 defeated in Syria, there is little 12:17 prospect that this would halt Iran's 12:19 nuclear program. I'm also concerned about 12:23 our ability to successfully negotiate 12:25 what seems to have become a Sunni-Shiite 12:28 civil war in Syria. It seems to me we 12:31 have no business in the middle of such a 12:33 civil war. From what we know of the 12:36 president's policy it seems we are 12:37 backing into an intractable crisis where 12:41 there are no good actors but plenty of 12:43 bad outcomes for America. Mr. President 12:46 let me close with this, two simple 12:48 observations: number one, don't arm 12:52 Al-Qaeda, don't arm those who hate us, 12:56 don't arm those who want to kill us, that 13:00 is basic common sense. And number two: 13:02 when it comes to matters of vital 13:05 national security the President of the 13:07 United States needs to come to the 13:09 American people. We the people hold 13:11 sovereignty in this country and it is 13:13 not acceptable for the president simply 13:15 to send out staffers to pass on his 13:17 decision. He needs to come before 13:19 Congress and the American people 13:22 and explain those decisions. All of us 13:25 have deep concerns about arming the 13:27 rebels in Syria (person coughs in the background) and I hope that the 13:30 administration will reconsider its 13:31 policy. Thank you Mr. President. (someone other than Senator Ted Cruz) Mister- Transcript, single line, spoken English only: Mr. President, I rise today to express my strong concern about President Obama's decision to arm the rebels in Syria. That decision was signaled last week by deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes. According to Mr. Rhodes the United States will start supplying arms to selected rebel groups. Now I fully understand the seriousness of the situation in Syria. Bashar al-Assad is a brutal dictator. Syria has been on the State Department's state sponsor of terrorism list since 1979. For two years this brutal civil war has raged, leaving at least 93,000 dead, 100 reportedly from chemical weapons attack. The humanitarian situation in Syria is a calamity. Millions of people have been displaced, Iran and Russia stand to gain a major strategic victory if Assad remains in power. And we have to be concerned about the danger this war poses to our allies Israel and Jordan. All Americans would like to see secular democracy minded forces in Syria come to power, but President Obama's failed policies over the last two years have left us with no good options at this time. In the beginning of the uprising there was a moment when the peaceful protesters could have used the vocal energetic support of the United States. Instead the Obama administration stood by for months apparently in the hopes that they could make Assad see reason. Before long military hostilities broke out, but President Obama chose not to act, hoping instead to lead from behind. In the course of the war Assad has benefited from weapons from Iran and Russia, and from fighters from Hezbollah. Our repeated entreaties to the Russians to help us resolve this crisis have fallen on deaf ears. Most recently this week when President Obama attempted to reach a diplomatic solution with President Putin just to have him once again refuse to be a good faith partner that the administration seems to think he could be. Meanwhile the most effective organized Syrian rebels are affiliated with Al-Qaeda. There are two main Al-Qaeda entities active in Syria: Jabhat al-Nusra and the resurgent Al-Qaeda in Iraq. While recent plans to merge them have foundered, they are both powerful and well-armed. In recent weeks a training video has been posted on an Al-Qaeda website showing young rebel recruits in Syria singing, not only about overthrowing Assad, but about how quote "the World Trade Center was turned into rubble." To commemorate the 65th anniversary of the founding of Israel on June sixth, Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released a video calling for Syrians to unite to bring down the Assad government and to create a radical Islamic state. On June 9th, Zawahiri posted a letter on Al Jazeera announcing that Jabhat al-Nusra would be acting on his direct orders. As many of seven of the nine rebel groups that have been identified may have ties to Al-Qaeda, and yet these murky connections make them all the more difficult to properly vet. And as is- as is normally the case when Al-Qaeda moves in, more and more stories are spreading about the desecration of churches, kidnappings, rapes, and beheadings. These forces are engaged in a deadly struggle with the Assad regime and President Obama has chosen this moment to signal that it is now suddenly in our vital national security interests to intervene in Syria. It seems far more likely a recipe for disaster. We are told that the United States will provide only small arms and ammunition, and only to the more secular democracy minded rebels. And that they will not fall into the hands of those who attacked us on September 11th, not to mention more recently in Fort Hood, Benghazi, and Boston. Although there are no details as to how the president plans to differentiate between good and bad actors. Even if we could clearly identify the good rebels, so to speak, we would be backing the weakest of the factions in Syria and the support the Obama administration has proposed will not be sufficient to bring down Assad and put them in power. Once committed to this path we risk either being forced to incrementally increase our support, or facing the humiliation of losing to either Al-Qaeda groups or Assad or both, which would delight both Iran and Russia. We could also see the factions of the Opposition use our weapons to turn on each other, and see Assad triumph in the chaos. It is far from clear we can even get the weapons to the so-called good rebels, even if we could figure out who they- who they were. President Obama has just announced another three hundred million dollars in humanitarian aid for Syria, but only about half of the aid already pledged has been delivered the other half hasn't because of logistical issues and the challenges of keeping these resources out of the hands of bad actors. How on earth can we expect to deliver guns if we can't even get MREs into the country? Regardless, let me suggest a simple rule: don't give weapons to people who hate us. Don't give weapons who peop- to people who want to kill us. U.S. foreign policy should be directed at one central purpose: protecting the vital national security interest of the United States. Arming potential Al-Qaeda rebels is not furthering their- those interests. But there is something that is: preventing Syria's large stocktile- stockpile of chemical weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. We know that Assad has used these weapons, and there is good reason to suspect that the Al-Qaeda affiliated rebels would use them as well, if they could get their hands on 'em. This poses an intolerable threat not only to our friends in the region but also to the United States. We need to be developing right now a clear practical plan to go in, locate the weapons, secure or destroy them, and then get out. We might work in concert with our allies, but this needs to be an operation driven by the mission, not by a coalition. The United States should be firmly in the lead to make sure the job is done right, but our British allies for example are actively bolstering the units that could be used for chemical weapontry removal. President Obama needs to assure us that the dangerous arbitrary cuts to our defense budget caused by sequester have not eroded our ability to execute this vital mission, but news reports suggest that what planning has gone on involves outsourcing parts of this work to the rebel groups. Mr. President this makes no sense. Moreover, it is deeply disturbing that President Obama has chosen not to communicate his decision directly to Congress or the American people, and I would note communicating not through a junior staffer, not through a spokesperson, but himself to the American people. According to a Pew poll taken over the weekend seventy percent of Americans oppose arming the Syrian rebels, quite sensibly. In a case where his policy is so at odds with the will of the people it's beholden on the president to make his case, and to persuade us that this proposed intervention is necessary. But just yesterday in his long speech on national security at the Brandenburg Gate, President Obama did not even mention his planned intervention in Syria. He told us that he is a quote "citizen of the world," but he is also President of the United States, and he owes the American people and explanation. President Obama needs to explain why arming the Syrian rebels is now worth our intervention, when it wasn't two years ago. He needs to explain how he has established which rebels are the appropriate recipients of this support. He needs to explain how this limited support will make a material difference in Syria. And he needs to assure us that his team is proactively planning to protect our national security by keeping Syria's chemical weapons out of the hands of either Hezbollah or Al-Qaeda. But we don't know any of these specifics. We are apparently just supposed to trust the president to manage Syria policy more effectively than he has over the last two years, and more effectively that he has managed events in Iran, Libya, and Egypt. During the Green Revolution in 2009 the Obama administration stood by and allowed the Supreme Leader of Iran to brutally suppress his people as they protested in the streets. Four years later we have just witnessed the installation of the Supreme Leader's most recent selection for president of Iran: a man whom some of the mainstream media refer to as a quote "moderate," but a man who has referred to Israel as quote "the great Zionist Satan," and who vows to continue Iran's nuclear program. That's some moderate. During the uprising in Tahrir Square, Cairo, President Obama cheered on the demonstrators but refused to take a leading role in helping Egypt make the difficult transition to democracy: opening the door to a Muslim Brotherhood regime that is now taking systematic steps to hollow out that country's fragile Constitution, while turning a blind eye to the persecution of Christians and the discrimination against women. And just like the rebels in Syria President Obama is also working to arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. During the revolution in Libya President Obama decided removing Muammar Gaddafi was a vital national security issue and he participated in NATO's mission to overturn him, but his strategy of leading from behind meant Gaddafi's weapons stockpiles went unsecured and had been transferred to militants from Lebanon to Mali. The new government in Libya, however well-intentioned, proved incapable of managing the security threat from terrorist militias in the country. And nine months ago, tragically, four US personnel were brutally murdered in a terrorist attack, an attack that we have yet to track down and punish any of the terrorists who killed our personnel in Benghazi. And with this track record of incoherent and indecisive action resulting in setback after setback to the United States, we are supposed to just trust President Obama to do a better job managing the situation in Syria? Seems to me that if we are determined to confront Iraq's or it- rather Iran's nuclear program we would do so better in Iran. Even if Hezbollah is defeated in Syria, there is little prospect that this would halt Iran's nuclear program. I'm also concerned about our ability to successfully negotiate what seems to have become a Sunni-Shiite civil war in Syria. It seems to me we have no business in the middle of such a civil war.
