American-Backed Syrian Rebels Behead Catholic Priest

The Vatican has confirmed that Syrian rebels last week beheaded a Syrian Catholic priest, Francois Murad, because he was accused of collaborating with the Assad regime. The rebels posted a graphic video of Murad's beheading online. The rebels can be heard cheering and yelling Allahu Akbar as Murad's head is viciously cut off using a knife, the same words spoken by Maj. Nidal Hasan when he went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, killing 19 of his fellow Army soldiers.

These are the same rebels who the U.S. government has been training and funneling arms and aid for nearly two years. The Obama administration fabricated claims that the Assad regime had used chemical weapons on the Syrian people as an excuse for more direct support for the civil war in Syria on the side of the rebels. The UN claims it was the American-backed rebels who used chemical weapons. The United States first introduced chemical weapons to the region when it gave them to Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime to use in its war against Iran during the 1980s.

Hoosiers should take note of the fact that both of their senators, Dan Coats and Joe Donnelly, support military aid to these terrorists in Syria, many of whom have links to Al Qaeda. You should ask them how they justify fighting the government's war on terrorism by arming and funding the very enemy from whom they profess to be protecting us. Perhaps we wouldn't have to suffer through their insulting and pathetic defense of the unconstitutional spying on all Americans by the NSA if they and other members of Congress stop funding the war on terrorism, which has quite clearly been manufactured for the sole purpose of serving the selfish and greedy ends of the military-industrial complex.
