It’s interesting how we want to combat and keep Al Qaeda out of Africa, but we openly support them in Syria. Can anyone say hypocrisy?

Could it be because Al Qaeda is a threat to resource extraction in Africa but would actually improve resource trade in (through) Syria?

When will the American public finally wake up and realize American military actions are nothing more than helping rich people to get even richer?
