"Mr President, as we know, Syria is probably the most serious issue that the world faces today. We have seen the evilness of Islamic State. We have seen the televised burnings, we have seen the drownings, the beheadings, and the throwing of people off roofs for simply being homosexual and, if they do not die, kicking them to death on the ground. It is these extremists who want to take over control, not just of Syria, but the whole region.
But let us not forget that back in 2013 we had all Western politicians, including John McCain and our own foreign policy genius, Guy Verhofstadt, telling us that we must arm these rebels – these nice cuddly rebels – who included the al-Nusra Front and the Syrian Mujahideen. Thank God that did not happen. I would simply like to ask Ms Mogherini why we continue to do nothing about Saudi Arabia and why we are continuing to throw money at Turkey and are inviting Turkey to join the European Union when they are the funders of terrorism."@en1
