Arming the Rebel Groups in Syria Will Not Necessarily Lead to the End of Assad and to the End of The Syrian People’s Suffering

With Barry Rubin, Clare Lopez, Andy McCarthy, Bruce Bechtol

BARRY RUBIN, of the Gloria Center, first talks with Frank about last week’s speech made by President Obama, and then looks toward the future of Syria and Obama’s views about the ideology driving the Muslim Brotherhood.

CLARE LOPEZ of the Center for Security Policy talks about the London terrorist attack, the ongoing rioting in Sweden, and how these incidents are evidence of a larger threat from jihadism.

ANDY MCCARTHY of the National Review Online gives his perspective on Obama’s speech as well as looks at the brief meeting McCain held in Syria over the holiday weekend with the Free Syrian Army and questions why Republicans are so willing to follow and listen to McCain’s outdated views in regards to the situation in Syria.

BRUCE BECHTOL, author of “The Last Days of Kim Jong-Il,” explains how the last three years of Kim Jong-Il’s regime are having a direct impact on what is happening now, both politically and militarily, in North Korea under the reign of his son and successor, Kim Jong-Un.
