The news comes as ISIS is marching on the suburbs of Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city. Rebels fighting the jihadists there told The Daily Beast that the U.S.-led coalition isn’t even bothering to respond to their calls for airstrikes to stop the jihadist army.

Mustapha Sejari, one of the rebels already approved for the U.S. training program, told The Daily Beast that he and his 1,000 men are on the verge of withdrawing from the program.

The issue: the American government’s demand that the rebels can’t use any of their newfound battlefield prowess or U.S.-provided weaponry against the army of Bashar al-Assad or any of its manifold proxies and allies, which include Iranian-built militias such as Lebanese Hezbollah. They must only fight ISIS, Washington insists.

Gawd, how I hate that halfbreed f*** in the White House. Hundreds of thousands of people are getting their heads chopped and all the halfbreed does is prattle on about “climate change.”

I just can’t believe that Obama’s ‘fully vetted’ rebels now have differences with the master planner Obama.

That goes back seven years when some German asked to take out two fuel trucks that were stolen. The pilot bumped it up to Ma-Cristal and after a mess he was given the task of blowing up 100 women getting gas. After that no USAF pilot would take a fire mission from anyone but an American.
