Why can’t the State Department spokespersons give a straight answer when asked a clear and direct question by the media? And when they do give an answer why is it often such a bold-faced lie? Either it’s “I cannot comment on that because there is an ongoing investigation” or “‘no boots on the ground’ in syria has never been our policy.” When it comes to US transfers of weapons in Syria that are ending up in the hands of ISIS – particularly when some have possibly been used recently to shoot down a Russian helicopter – the US government needs to do more than cover up.

Always be reminded of the old Arab phrase, “Don’t let the camel get it’s nose inside the tent flap”. The US translation would be, “The edge of the wedge”. The US always arrives with, “We are here to help”, but before long it becomes, “We had to destroy the town to save it”.
