U.S. military cargo planes gave 50 tons of ammunition to rebel groups overnight in northern Syria, using an air drop of 112 pallets as the first step in the Obama Administration's urgent effort to find new ways to support those groups.

Details of the air mission over Syria were confirmed by a U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because the details have not yet been formally announced.

C-17s, accompanied by fighter escort aircraft, dropped small arms ammunition and other items like hand grenades in Hasakah province in northern Syria to a coalition of rebels groups vetted by the US, known as the Syrian Arab Coalition.

All pallets successfully were recovered by friendly forces, a U.S. official said.

The US now arms al Qaeda, upon whom
it should DROP the 50 tons of munitions.

Did everyone forget 911, or does the
White Mosque and the submissive, complicit GOP,
just not care?

Let me see if I got this right. ISIS are the bad guys. Syrian rebels are ISIS. We are then supplying weapons and munitions to ISIS. ISIS who want to annihilate the western world. And we’re good with this? Dear God, our government is in serious trouble.

“Did everyone forget 911, or does the White Mosque and the submissive, complicit GOP, just not care?”

The Sunni’s have paid off American politicians for years to look the other way while ISIS work 24x7 to breach the Russian shoreline via Turkey and Iran.

If anyone wonders why American politicians are in bed with Obama, look no further than the middle east.

**********************************************************************
And, yet, Obama REFUSES to allow the US military to supply the Kurds directly. The Kurds have been, and continue to be, the ONLY ground forces that have successfully been fighting ISIS.
