Correct. Most of the recruits didn’t make it or dropped out to go join...ISIS.

That McCain - he’s such a maverick!

He’s probably upset because O is getting embarrassed.

Thanks, DNC and GOPe - thanks a lot.

Sen. McCain can see ISIS and its leaders from his front porch chair.

But...I thought it was reported early this week that all but a handful of the ones the US trained had gone over to the terrorist side.

So which is it? Did they join an ISIS affiliated group, or were they sent underground by the CIA to fight Assad?

Can I get even more disgusted with the US foreign policy?

US Sen. John McCain, speaking to CNN, says he can confirm some of Wednesday's Russian air strikes hit (both) Free Syrian Army recruits trained by CIA

No worries, these guys can take comfort that Obama AND John McCain have their back.

Not even Americans have that perk.

This whole idea of a Free Syrian Army is a joke; the only group that Obama has created, funded and protected is ISIS. This thing is quickly spiraling out of control, perhaps that is Obama (Jarret's) intention.

Just for shits and giggles, Putin should give a briefing on the day's objectives and future strike operations and call out the Russian/Iranian/Chinese/Assad organization as:

Ground Operations Group (GOG), and the Navy/Marine detachment at Tartus and Latakia as:Marine Assault General Operations Group (MAGOG).

Watch heads explode......or the world.
