Don’t worry, Obama is gonna train 5,000 ‘vetted’, good Syrian rebels for six months, then they’ll go in and join up with other Muslim good guys and wipe ISIS out.

(Again we have to ask: Is Obama really that dumb and incompetent, or does he want America’s enemies to win?)

"Obama is gonna train 5000"

We have been training them all along, and giving them equipment like radios.

In 2013 the CIA began giving them weapons and training them on those weapons. Anti-tank weapons like Tow missiles.

Now congress has authorized the military to take over and arm/train more of them faster. But it is not clear whether we will give them anti-aircraft weapons.
