“Moderate” Syrian rebels. They only kill Christians every now and then and want to implement Sharia law in Syria.

No, I think he had it on the shelf looking for a good time, and this was it. He never lets a news cycle go to waste.

well, the "smarter than everyone else" CIA and Department of State have fared so well in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan (not to mention Cuba and Iran,) why not give them a go in Syria?      /s

WaPo is lieing!! It is not fake news, it is an outright lie.

See this piece on Conservative treehouse and the full Benghazi brief. US weapons went to al Quada and ISIS in Syria and in all likelihood killed US pilots and servicemen in Afghanistan.

Notice the “a move sought by Moscow”.

That is all the liberals are stressing.

It’s absurd they are calling this more of how Trump is Putin’s puppet.

In reality it is no longer funding and arming the Islamic State.

Even on liberal reddit that part didn’t go over well. No one wants to fund those terrorist groups and the press just made themselves look like clowns with that headline.
