The White House says it wants to work with Syria’s moderate rebels. But warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition came awfully close to striking one of their HQs.
Last week, an airstrike from the American-led coalition nearly hit a command-and-control facility affiliated with the Free Syrian Army, the moderate rebels the Obama administration says are America’s “boots on the ground,” according to two opposition leaders. They are asking the Obama administration to please coordinate with them in the future before America bombs its only allies in Syria.
Since U.S. airstrikes against ISIS in Syria began on Sept. 22, there has been no coordination between the U.S. military and its alleged partners on the ground, according to FSA leaders, civilian opposition leaders, and intelligence sources who have been briefed on the U.S. and allied military operation. It’s this lack of communication that led to an airstrike that hit only 200 meters from an FSA facility in the suburbs of Idlib. One source briefed on the incident said multiple FSA fighters were killed in the attack.
“Unfortunately, there is zero coordination with the Free Syrian Army. Because there is no coordination, we are seeing civilian casualties. Because there is no coordination, they are hitting empty buildings for ISIS,” Hussam Al Marie, the spokesman for the FSA in northern Syria, told The Daily Beast. “We have been getting promises that the coordination will be coming, but we have been getting promises since the beginning of this revolution and nothing has happened yet.”

They are NOT our allies. They are Muslims who want a Muslim state in Syria.
We need to reinstate a couple battle ships and just systematically reduce the whole nation of Syria to farm land. I don’t think arming our enemey to try and kill our other enemy is a good strategy. It sounds like we have a lot of our enemies now all grouped together in one area of the planet, preoccupied with fighting each other. We could end the fighting very quickly and check two boxes in one mission.
Maybe we should drop some pamphlets saying, “This is America. We will be dropping bombs in your country for the foreseable future.” Then any casualties would be their own fault. #IToldYouSo?
where is the usual outrage form the left wing media about innocent people being bombed and where is the pictures?
Ah yes Obama is in the white house so lets just ignore that little fact, or the fact the Nobel peace prize has bombed 7 countries and killed a lot of innocent people
The Muslims have run off everyone else. Bomb them all, radicals, moderates, six of one, half a dozen of the other. Bomb away.
It only applies to the libtards definition of “offenders”.
To them, nothing else matters but their definition....
Moderate jihadists are the ones that use a sharp knife to behead the infidel rather than a dull one. More compassionate donchaknow.
Everyone with Sandals on the Ground should be targets.
In nearly all of the strike cams, look at the structures moments before the strike.......
