"I can absolutely confirm to you that they were strikes against our Free Syrian Army recruits that have been armed and trained by the CIA, because we have communications with people there," Republican Sen. John McCain, who is head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview with CNN, according to the Reuters news agency.

And just how reliable are McCain's sources in Syria and just how reliable is McCain? What a mess. The report might or might not be true, but with so many factions in that areas with so many different agendas, it's anyone's guess.

It's the same Free Syrian Army recruits that Obama put in Egypt to overthrow Mubarak (our ally) and the same Free Syrian Army Obama put in Libya to overthrow Gadaffi (another turned U.S. ally) which gave up 400+ shoulder fired missiles to the Syrian 'Free Syrian Army' which they haven't fired yet...

Free Syrian Army, Isis...Muzlim Brotherhood...No difference...

***”I can absolutely confirm to you that they were strikes against our Free Syrian Army recruits that have been armed and trained by the CIA, because we have communications with people there,” Republican Sen. John McCain, who is head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview with CNN, according to the Reuters news agency.
And just how reliable are McCain’s sources in Syria and just how reliable is McCain? What a mess. The report might or might not be true, but with so many factions in that areas with so many different agendas, it’s anyone’s guess.***

***U.S. General Lloyd Austin, the head of the U.S. military’s Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that at the current, slower-than-expected pace, the initial training targets were unrealistic.

Asked how many fighters were still in Syria, Austin said: “It’s a small number. The ones that are in the fight ... we’re talking four or five.”***

This General was before the Armed Services Committee 9/16/15. McCain was present and bemoaned the abject failure of the program. Now he’s talking like we have all these forces over there on our side. He is a bald faced, pos liar. Putin is bombing terrorists. It doesn’t matter if we were stupid enough or complicent in giving them weapons and training, they defected or returned back to their terrorists groups. And for so called Conservatives to be lying about this is just mind blowing to me. Why are so many people itching to go to war with Russia?
