Syrian rebel Yarmouk Brigades ditch US and Israel allies,
defect to ISIS
The Syrian rebel militia Al Yarmouk Shuhada Brigades, backed and trained
for two years by US officers, mostly CIA experts, in Jordan, and supported
by the Israeli army, has abruptly dumped these sponsors and joined up
with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, debkafile’s exclusive military
and counter-terrorism sources reveal.
The sudden defection of this 2,000-strong anti-Assad force leaves IDF defense
formations on the Golan, US and Jordanian deployments in the northern part
of the kingdom, and pro-Western rebel conquests in southern Syria
in danger of collapse.
The Brigades’ jump into the radical jihadi camp was negotiated in the last two weeks
by its commander Mousab Ali Qarfan, who also goes by the name of Mousab Zaytouneh.
He was in direct contact with ISIS chief Abu Baqr Al-Baghdadi, whom our sources report
has recently relocated from Iraq to his northern Syrian headquarters at al-Raqqa.

And leave Europe, Turkey, countries invaded by ISIS, Kiev, Russia, Libya, Egypt to figure out the mess US policy has created.
My question is why would Cuba want Obama to have influence in Cuba?
Gee who could have predicted that would happen?
“Whats on first, who’s on second?”
Must be those moderate rebels Mccain was lying..err talking about.
You’re right. That is the only way.
Israel is probably on an even more heightened alert in the Golan Heights......
He is both.
If we had actual leadership in this country, we’d equip and train the Syrian Army to take this fight to ISIS. But we’re completely bereft of leadership.
0bama sends weapons and cash to our enemies ISIS.
There is just a slight delay for re-branding.

Perhaps Obama will now see the folly of trusting anyone in Syria. But I doubt it.
Welcome to the ME where tribal gambling is allowed.
Yep, these tar babies are stuck together like glue.
Hang a sign on the door of ... Do Not Disturb.
Hands off has always been the best approach as long as muzzies are killing muzzies-—dry up the virgin supply. But this bunch of turncoats that we were helping to train in Jordan should be on the target end of a B-52 training mission.
Obozo? About face? hell he doesn’t even have a face. At the moment he’s busy recognizing Cuber. You got the wrong guy if you’re waiting for the Grand Kenyan to develop a plan to do much of anything except damage the home folks.
It wouldn’t surprise me. However I will wait for confirmation from a source other than Debka.
