Riiiight. This will turn out well.
They have already trained a sizable number of ISIS (in Jordan, Palestine, etc.)and supplied them with weapons (from Libya, Egypt, etc). How long after the US training will it be for these “rebels” to cross over to ISIS??
5000 against 31,500 (at last count)...
Ok...Where they gonna build that Alamo again???
Personally, I know they won’t scratch together over 1000 in Syria...It just isn’t going to happen, so the money that is budgeted for this effort is going to go where exactly???
Just something to keep in mind...
Agreed. This is very obvious & bad.
Are these green jobs?
A disingenuous method to transfer arms and knowledge to those that will [eventually] try to wipe out Israel, at taxpayer expense. This regime is good at it... after the transfer appearing to be an "accident", but the deed is done. From arms to Mexican cartels, to arms to a muslim brotherhood-run caliphate. To Transfer is to Transform!
The “Vietnamization” of Syria? Even the recent history of the last 40 years is lost on this administration.
“This is totally insane. The Congress needs to refuse to fund it.”
I agree. This is going to turn out like Libya and other Obama misadventures.
mo money mo money mo money to fund his fundamental transformation. They are just using this bozo and will turn on us with the same weapons.
“What was that definition of insanity?”
Not believing that Islam is a peaceful religion? /s
What could possibly go wrong with this plan?
As bad as Assad is he kept these Islamic extremist under control. Same with Khadifi and Saddam.
Obama’s desire to destroy Israel and promote war in the M.E. is looking biblical.
Just like Afghanistan - or, actually, even worse. All it does is enhance the skills of our enemies and cost American lives. The “moderate allies” they’ll be training will no doubt be eagerly awaiting that unguarded moment when they can kill their trainers and make off with the equipment.
But Obama doesn’t care.
What a bad joke. The US is going to “train” (and arm) yet another wave of terrorists-to-be. Great strategy there, Clown Prince nobama, the all knowing & seeing. This fool defines “putz”.
Only a fool would trust a moslem and give them weapons and training.
Carpet bomb anything that moves,blow up the oilfields that they use for income, destroy anything with wheels and let these animals ride donkeys and camels into battle.
All this can be accomplished from the air.
Anybody agitating for a “coalition” of “moderate” rebels is out of their freaking mind at best and a subversive traitor at worst.
There, fixed it
We will be training and arming Al-Qaeda if this is allowed.
If we were serious about ISIS, then we should be arming and assisting Assad to fight ISIS.
