To answer your questions,
Yes, we are sending guns, and advisers, to a mix of Al Queda and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists , (No, silly boy, there will be no background checks, magazine limits, or ATF forms) basically the same anti Western terrorists Barack Hussein Obama gave political support to in Egypt, and air support in Libya.
Don't worry about them being used against Americans, they will be used to overthrow Turkey before that happens.
The stupid people, (and illegal aliens ) elected a Muslim traitor as President, then they reelected him because he gave them a "free" (easily monitored) cell phone.
