It's much more complicated then that. Besides we're delaying our current plan and negotiating the new plan with Russia on moving the Chem weapons out of there...again.
Sums it up. Though the US has funded/sponsored terrorists, freedom fighters, revolutionaries, whatever you want to call them, in the past (especially during Reagan's administration) this is not necessarily the case in Syria. The people fighting against Assad are most certainly not terrorists, however if the US doesn't help them or intervene somehow the rebels will most certainly side with terrorist organizations like Al-Queda and the Taliban if they are backed into a corner.
We wouldn't be in this place if we didn't invade Iraq in the first place, that threw the old region into turmoil. Shoulda just kicked the Talibans butt in Afghanistan and been done with it.
They're not terrorists, they're freedom fighters! Until they attack our interest, then they're terrorists! But not a moment before!

Regardless, I love the board meeting memes. :)
Who hasn't supported a guerrilla army or two.
FSA and AL-Nusra have made a fair share of inhuman terrorist acts in Syria, so they're definitely terrorists.
And where are those " Jokes about "Syria's problem" "?
