WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is considering a plan to use U.S. military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the Syrian rebels, in a move that would greatly expand the current CIA training being done quietly in Jordan, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Kinda like when we trained Bin Laden.
In case anyone has forgot, US training of rebels against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan is what started Al Queda.
They already have the best terrorist trainers in the region.
Another swell idea. And how long before they use what they learned on U.S. soldier/trainers?
Let Obama show ‘em how to play golf and throw like a girl. Those are useful skills in the modern world...
George Bush got lambasted by the left and the media for declaring “war on terror”.
Of course everyone knew that at its heart it was really a war on muslim terrorists.
Now Barack Obama has the US taxpayers paying to train and arm muslim terrorists.
And he uses US military assets to help them take over country after country.
Yet the left and the media still go into a swoon over his every word.
Isn’t that how our involvement in Vietnam began? We sent “advisors” is how I seem to remember what they were called.
Our fearless leader is determined to help the people who are murdering Christians and Jews.
He is frantically searching for a way to help them. Sending them arms would not get the attention of the American public anywhere near as much as the projected invasion has.
The invasion is wrong. Sending arms to the jihadis is wrong.
Beat me to it.
BINGO!! But hey, didn't Obama and McCain say "no bootso n the ground?" How do you train Syrian Rebels al-Qaeda in Syria without putting boots on the ground?
WTF do we care about Syria or Syrian rebels, especially when Traitor Kerry has admitted that at least 25% of them (probably much more) are Jihadists? What sane person would want to arm or train them? This is INSANITY.
So they say they care about the death of innocent civilians and yet wish to train the rebels so that war can continue. If it wasn’t for outside interference this war would have been over a long time ago with minimal casualties but the result would not have been what Obama wants.
0bama's REAL OBJECTIVE is to have a well trained bunch of terrorists that will turn their attentions toward Israel when time permits.
Meanwhile, the muzzie usurper enjoys the support of American Jews.
I think we did this in Afstan when OBL was on our side.
Charlie Wilson
we never trained Bin Laden
That’s a myth
In fact he moved in and set up his own camps and training amidst the CIA training of the other factions- held himself aloof from the westerners
Not to say that that Bin Laden didn’t get access to weapons manuals and defectors from the cia training
I don’t think those guys properly qualify to have the privilege of gun ownership.
Oh wait! They aren’t Christian NRA members?
Ok - go ahead - give them guns. Lots of them. Throw in some rocket launchers while we’re at it.
