Putin calls US support for rebel forces in Syria 'illegal' and says it just arms ISIS

"In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter."

...He said: "It turns out that only 60 of these fighters have been properly trained, and as few as four or five people actually carry weapons. "The rest of them have deserted with the American weapons to join ISIS."

Just because Putin says it, doesn't make it true.

However, in THIS case it's true.

U.S. SUSPENDS FAILED $500M PROGRAM TO TRAIN SYRIAN REBELS

...The program was beginning to draw bitter opposition from Democrats ....who said this week’s revelations about the second wave handing its gear to al-Qaeda was “just the latest indictment of a program that was destined to fail at the start

...The first wave of “New Syrian Force” fighters was ambushed by al-Qaeda and wiped out, with many of them killed, kidnapped, or MIA.

No one at the Pentagon seems to know what happened to the second wave after they handed American vehicles and ammunition over to al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front in exchange for safe passage.

” “It turns out that only 60 of these fighters have been properly trained, and as few as four or five people actually carry weapons. “

The answer is simple bring these guys and their families to America and let them live in the outhouse, Kerry’s and Clintoon’s homes.

Give them a million $’s and Obama care and put them on liberal talk shows to evoke phony care for them.

And guess where he got that info? Right out of the mouth of our Head of Central Command, Gen. Austin, at the Senate Arms Services Committee on 9/16/15.
