Apparently our new foreign policy is to train all the Arabs to kill each other.
Not that McCain needs to look stupid-er, but all of this shows just how stupid he was when he was advocating for arming and training the Syrian terrorists. A plan that would have come back to bite us hard. It has anyway, actually.
All of this training/arming bs needs to stop because it is completely un-vetted and out of control.
Oh, well, OK then. Good to know Obama was careful. /S
John McCain aka McQueeg had his hand in this fiasco. Maybe some others Republicans. If so I sure would like to know who.
A lot of us here on FR had always wondered how you could tell the good guys from the bad guys. As we are finding out you can’t.
I posted earlier that all military equipment we ‘give’ to other nations should include a simple kill switch we could activate if the materiel is being used against our interests.
I suggest the same kind of technology be surgically and irreversibly implanted in every foreign soldier we train.

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 so persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 that men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
This is no surprise since we also trained and/or funded Saddam Hussein, Ayatollah Khomeini, members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda. We are deliberately creating a virulent, organized jihadi Middle East. Then, we can be shocked,...SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!, that these monsters are acting monstrously. The military-industrial complex, of which Eisenhower warned us, will have what they really want: World War 3.
TREASON!!!
What a joke.
Hmmm, wonder if there’s a good reason not to train terrorists in the tactics they need to fight against our military effectively.
Same goes for allowing China to participate in our war games.
We have the absolute worst leadership this nation has ever seen.
Folks, we are headed into oblivion, if we don’t call the traitors out and demand change.
Jordan will be next on the jihadi hit list . .
I certainly didn’t read every article or make any detailed study of what was going on in Syria during all the fighting. I never had a clear picture of who the various ‘rebel’ groups were, only that some were obviously very brutal and others maybe less so.
But now this article clearly says that US personnel were training some of the worst (ISIS) at several different locations. Now some of the trained terrorists are part of the attack on Iraq.
So, again we are left with the question: are Obama and his flunkies that inept and incompetent, or did they intentionally provide aide to terrorists they knew would be used against Iraq?
Who could be surprised by this. We all knew that Obama has and continues to take the side of the rebel forces in the war in Syria. We all knew that this was a dangerous mix of terrorist groups and, I assume, a few real freedom fighters.
So what’s changed? Nothing. We still support the rebel forces in Syria which apparently include ISIS.
One might ask: Who’s side are we on? (Referring, of course, to that greater WE that we call Obama.)
I will answer: Whatever side the Sunnis are on. Birds of a feather, brotherhood, family ties. These all run deep.
LOl.
We are truly the United States of Dork.
Did ISIS promise not to use their training against Iraq? Maybe they should have their allowances taken away.
Congress is in on the islamist’s Treason with him.
0bama trains our enemies.
If there are any adults left in the Democrat Party, would you please go get your President and take him to Summer camp so he can make some pot holders. Thank-you.
So why were we trying to topple Syria?
So why were we trying to topple Libya?
So why were we trying to topple Egypt?
In every case the Islamists benefit.
Could it be that Obama wants Islamists to benefit?
