Earlier today, we reported that a group of Syrian rebels had shot down a Russian jet before they gathered to chant "Allahu Akbar" over the corpse of the pilot.
Now, it has been revealed that these rebels are being backed by none other than Obama's government. According to The Blaze, the U.S. backed Syrian rebels, the Free Syrian Army, claim to have taken down a Russian rescue helicopter with a TOW anti tank missile.
This helicopter was coming to try to save the pilots after their jet crashed.
The TOW missile was likely supplied to the rebels through the same US and Turkey backed logistics program that has been helping out Alwiya al Ashar. If this is confirmed, it could have serious implications on the U.S.'s relationship with Russia, as well as Obama's government itself.
It looks like Obama has gotten us into a real mess this time. Putin will definitely not let this go without some sort of revenge
Putin will not stand for this.
What kind of shoddy site is this? Turkey shot down the Russian jet, not the rebels.
Who is he going to blame this time ??
Mister Obvious and unaccountable ?
I assumed (based on extensive prior experience) that the terrorists Obama backed would be among the worst thugs in Syria. Shooting pilots parachuting from a destroyed airplane and then shooting down a rescue helicopter on a rescue mission seems like exactly the behavior Obama would look for when choosing his pet terrorists. Barack Hussein Obama disgusts me.
Syrian rebels? Or Turkish air force?
TOW? or F-16?
Been saying it a long, long time now. No surprise on this Freeper’s face.
What a fine mess Barry has placed us in.
I vote we offer the kenyan as a peace offering.
Will he nuke the white house?
I second it.
Does anyone know when the Lusitania is due to set sail for their holiday voyage...
It is a real mess and approved by Hillary.
I want to add it is time for Obama to once again cook the intel reports.
What are the chances that all these weapons came from Benghazi?
Obama has been on the side of the terrorists all along - we got an eyeful during the Moslem Botherhood’s takeover of Egypt and another in Benghazi.
And still the ‘Pubbie ******* of Congress do nothing. They don’t have to impeach him - just stop the money. But they won’t.
Think of the UN out to bite Barack. Does Russia still have the death penalty?
If they had a golf tee on the bridge , I know of someone who would love t go.
He tee's me off !
This article claims a TOW anti tank missile. I guess we’ll eventually get to the bottom of it.
