“The United States is considering sending missiles into Syria. Also, CIA-funded weapons have begun flowing to Syrian rebels. The rebels are made up of the Free Syrian Army, al Qaeda, and others. It seems the Free Syrian Army is liberating areas, and al Qaeda comes in behind and imposes strict Islamic shari'a law in those territories. Al Qaeda is a terrorist group that is at war with the United States. Richard Engel, with NBC, interviewed Abu Abdul Rahman, one of the thousands of al Qaeda fighters in Syria. In the interview, Engel asked Rahman this question: The United States is considering launching military strikes against Syria. Would that help you? Rahman replied: We have a prayer: ``Allah, please annihilate our enemies by other enemies.'' Assad is an enemy and America is an enemy. Let them fight. Madam Speaker, in this civil war, why would we ever consider getting involved by launching missiles into Syria or arming the rebels, which include our enemy, al Qaeda? And that's just the way it is. ____________________”
