Fiasco: U.S.-trained rebels in Syria are unaccounted for, may have been killed or deserted
Hot Air ^ | August 6, 2015 | Allahpundit

Late-breaking news this afternoon from the tip of the smart-power spear:

CNN JUST IN: Remaining U.S. trained rebels in Syria are unaccounted for. May have fled, or been killed; whereabouts unknown.

Out company worth of US trained Syrians has disappeared already. The unit was called Division 30. That reminds me of Hitler would look at a map and see say the a Panzer Army ordering it to attack. Some general would have to give him the bad news that Panzer Army has only 6 tanks left.

Clown Prince nobama had them “trained”...now they are ready to murder Americans. Who could have possibly predicted this?

All 50 or 60 of them that were left? The ones that were only allowed to fight one set of bad guys but not the other? Imagine that...

Nonsense. Everything is going exactly to Obama’s plan.

The Iranian Caliphate plan? Taking out the Kurds first with the assistance of Turkey, but Al-Assad has the support of Russia because of the ports. So what is Iran to do? Biblically Damascus becomes rubble but don’t remember the timing.

Exactly. They got out training, tactics and some gear. Now they’re on the other side. Right about now, they’re in front of a class of eager you ISIS members saying....

“This is what the Americans taught me. This is how you defend against it”

Not a failure. Obama’s plan to help our enemies and betray our allies is working brilliantly.

In 2008 while running for President, BHO2 slipped up and said on TV, “...my Muslim faith.”

He also verbally slipped again at a medical seminar in August 2008, when he said, “I’m 51-years old and have worked since I was fifteen...”. This is particularly troubling because it means he was born in 1957, NOT in 1961!

He wasn’t who he claimed to be, and this explains why Nancy Pelosi sent a Democratic operative to Jakarta, Indonesia, in July 2007, to buy up all documents and photographs of the Soetoro family. The Speaker of the House, a Democrat, committed treason.

Nothing today in Washington, D.C., is as it should be.

It also appears to me that the #1 supplier of weapons to ISIS is the US, thanks to Obama, refusing to allow the delivery of weapons directly to the Kurds, who are the only ones actually fighting ISIS.

I find it hard to believe that anyone could possibly be this feckless. I honestly believe that Obama’s intention from the beginning is a Caliphate, while “reuniting” the 2 muslim factions: ISIS replaces Saudi Arabia for the Sunis, while Iran runs the Shias.

Probably resettled in Minneapolis or Seattle.

Why are we “training” (read arming) so-called “rebels”?
It is more than a fiasco.

So stupid, so stupid.

Do NONE of these people in government read history? Do they not know what happens when you get involved in factional warfare? Did they not read the history of WWI even when the Germans and British and Russians were fighting a proxy war using ME fighters (or so they thought) but the fighters were fighting for their own causes and vendettas?

And this has been going on for OVER ONE THOUSAND YEARS in the Middle East ... probably longer.

Honestly, it is like we have pre-schooler’s running the government and military.

We are also enabling Turkey to wipe out the Kurds, once and for all, or at least weaken them for ISIS. What a travesty!

Prior to Obama, the term “I find it hard to believe that anyone could be this feckless” would carry some type of significance/weight.

With Obama being dumber than a box of f*cking rocks on top of the fact that he WANTS to see the caliphate and welcomes the destruction of the civilized, western world, it really doesn’t mean much anymore. Every moment of every day, the man is planning to or does, do or say something that lowers the bar. He and his puppet masters are so evil and destructive that it’s hard to imagine it getting worse. But they prove us all wrong, all the time.
