USA to provide weapons, training directly to Free Syrian Army

Re: USA to provide weapons, training directly to Free Syrian Army

A red-herring …

Red herring is an English-language idiom, a logical fallacy that misleads or detracts from the issue.[1] It is also a literary device that leads readers or characters towards a false conclusion, often used in mystery or detective fiction.

Now my point is that there is killing of innocent civilians in Syria… You are calling that a red-herring … Why is the taking of innocent blood a red-herring? And not an issue worth focussing on? I don’t care about Israel and Iran at the moment … Indeed that stand-off is a red-herring …

You are distracting me from the real issue which is Syria … You use the term “red-herring” with irony … LOL.
